About

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.

"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

"engaging and delightfully-illustrated book"-The Guardian

"[The author's] 'what if' questions are right on target for young learners, connecting them to the subject and extending their imaginations." -Kirkus Reviews
"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
