A pirate skeleton seeks to put its bones back together in this rhyming first book of anatomy!
Cast a spyglass round here, while breakers curl and pound here. Theres treasure to be found here I feel it in my bones!
A stormy night at sea has uncovered some long-buried secrets and surprises. Is that the mast of a shipwreck A faded pirate hat And whats that hiding in the sand A mandible and a clavicle, phalanges and femurs, a tibia and a fibula could there be a complete set of bones scattered across the ocean floor And who might they belong to
A jaunty rhyme takes readers on an underwater scavenger hunt as a comical skeleton tries to put itself back together piece by piece. Make no bones about it this rollicking read-aloud will have young ones learning anatomy without even realizing.
