Whose Bones Are Those?

Inventive and stylish, informative and whimsical, this conceptual picture book from a noted cut-paper artist invites young readers to "guess the animal" by perusing its bones. Whose bones? A scattering of tiny bones, spread across a vivid background, seem to offer no clues. But turn the page and the bones have elegantly come together, revealing the form of a snake or a lion, a crocodile or an elephant, a flamingo or even a whale. Every vibrant spread of this fascinating book features the skeleton--and also a stylized representation--of a different animal. Even the youngest of readers are invited to scrutinize the visual clues to figure out whose bones are portrayed in this fascinating introduction to vertebrates.Author: Chihiro TakeuchiISBN-10: 1536221457ISBN-13: 9781536221459Publisher: Candlewick StudioLanguage: EnglishPublished: 06/07/2022Pages: 40Format: HardcoverWeight: 0.80lbsSize: 8.70h x 10.10w x 0.50dReview Citation(s): Kirkus Reviews 05/15/2022School Library Journal 06/24/2022 pg. 1Horn Book Magazine 07/01/2022 pg. 103Hornbook Guide to Children 07/01/2022 - Superior,Well Above Average
