On Halloween I wore a skeleton costume. I used to think skeletons were just made up to scare people. Now I know that skeletons are real. They are not scary. I would not be me without a skeleton. You would not be you.
This book, published in 1971, answers all the questions a child could have about skeletons. It covers broken bones, joints, cartilage, marrow, and the purpose of bones. And it does this all in 33 pages. Super awesome.
The Skeleton Inside You is now my favorite non-fiction children’s book. It’s informative, entertaining and clear. And the illustrations are golden. Also, skeletons are just a cool subject to cover.
Do you have any recommendations for books to highlight in Pretty Pages? Would you like to write a post as a guest? Let me know in the comments!
