Bone by Bone
Comparing Animal Skeletons
From the Series Animal by Animal
What would you be if your finger bones grew so long that they reached your feet? You’d be a bat! What if you had no leg bones but kept your arm bones? You’d be a whale, a dolphin, or a porpoise!
This entertaining picture book will keep readers guessing as they learn about how our skeletons are like―and unlike―those of other animals.
How are you similar to animals? How are you different? These entertaining picture books from educator and veterinarian Sara Levine and illustrator T.S Spookytooth explore comparative anatomy and give readers the chance to find out how their skeletons, teeth, and eyes match up with a wide variety of animals from the past and present. Packed with surprising animal facts that will delight readers of all ages!

Reviews
Slate
“I’ve been longing for another kind of picture book: one that appeals to young children’s wildest imagination in service of real evolutionary thinking….Bone by Bone, by veterinarian and professor Sara Levine, fills the niche to near perfection.” —Slate
Kirkus Reviews
“[The author’s] ‘what if’ questions are right on target for young learners, connecting them to the subject and extending their imaginations.” —Kirkus Reviews
School Library Journal
“The bright, stylized, color illustrations match each question, portraying cartoon children with distorted anatomy, such as a girl with a neck like a giraffe’s, or a snake with a human head….This unusual book is interactive and thought-provoking.” —School Library Journal
