Your bones are alive. They react to pressure and stress. They grow just like any animal grows. They even heal when they are broken.
Starting with the hand bones, and moving to the arms, ribs, legs, feet, vertebrae, neck, and skull, this book compares the human skeleton to those of other animals. Have you ever wondered what the skeleton of a turtle looks like? A mole? How about a snake’s bones?

All the parts of the human skeleton are compared to the same parts in scale from other animals, including dinosaurs! Come and count how many bones each animal has and learn what each does for the health of the body as a whole. How many bones do you have?
