Bones of all shapes and sizes glow like jewels on richly colored backgrounds, allowing readers to pore over every nuance of Jenkins's intricate cut-paper illustrations. The discussion smartly begins with human anatomy; page turns reveal a comparative presentation of five other animals. Foldouts allow python and human skeletons to be introduced in even finer detail. Quirky bone facts are appended.
