Skeletons (Hardcover, Turtleback School & Library ed.)

The Scholastic Science Readers "TM" series was created especially to bring exciting nonfiction to beginning readers. Each book combines easy-to-read text with outstanding photographs to give kids an introduction to a favorite topic. With consultation from a reading specialist and child psychologist, the texts have been clearly leveled to match developing skills. Every book has been carefully reviewed by an expert in the field for scientific accuracy and includes an easy activity that a child can do for further exploration.

Outstanding photography brings nature alive in these full-color books. "Take a Look" boxes give kids a special look at the inside of a wolf's den or a close-up of a bat's fur.

An overview of our splendid skeletons. Kids will learn how many bones we have, what they are made of, how they grow, how they can be strengthened, and how they work together with muscles.
