About

"No bones about it, this will be a real boost for those looking to inject a little humor and fun into basic facts about the human body." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)



Shoulder bone connected to da neck bone

Neck bone connected to da head bone . . .



Colorful torn paper collages bring to life this familiar African American spiritual as frolicking, instrument-playing skeletons-accompanied by interesting, informative "bone facts"-entertain and educate young readers. At Halloween or all year round, at home or in the classroom, Dem Bones is a "clever anatomy lesson . . . geared for tickling the funny bones of the early elementary set" (Publishers Weekly).



"A snappy introduction to the human skeleton . . . The artwork makes this an inviting picture book to read aloud in primary-grade classrooms." -Booklist



"A book that entertains and educates this age group and gets them tapping their toe bones, too. Bravo." -Family Life
