Review

This informational picture book is full of interesting facts and details about bones. Animal bones and human bones in action are briefly described and illustrated. The color photographs of humans and animals have illustrated overlays of the inside parts of the body which clearly show the various bones. Also included is a overlay that includes ligaments, muscles, bones and tendons. The comparisons between human and animal bones are very interesting with the text explaining the differences in bones needed for different body parts.

An excellent starter science book with easy to understand text, visually appealing photographs, balanced layout that includes just the right amount of text for young readers. Glossary and index included.

Overall Book Score: very good
