Bones NFJenkins, Steve Jenkins begins with a single human finger bone, thenshows where it fits in the hand, then attaches the arm bones andsets it aside the forelimbs of a mole, spider monkey, gray whale, tur-tle, and fruit bat to illustrate how they all share the same basic struc-ture. Similar comparisons take a look at feet, legs, rib cages, necks,and heads, almost always using a consistent scale to display the rel-ative size of elephant and stork legs or a giraffe and human neck.The clean design of the intricate skeletons set against solid back-ground colors is striking and provides a wonderful visual introduc-tion to what keeps us all upright. Thoughtful back matter probesdeeper into bone-related science concepts.

Going, Going, Gone!Katz, Alan Children old enough to enjoy a good parody will have afield day with this sports-themed book offering rewritten lyrics forfamiliar tunes. One example is “I Hope William Won’t Tell” (music:“TheWilliam Tell Overture”), in which a young archer misses the tar-get but shoots the tire of his parents’ new car. Using clever wordchoices and situations familiar to kids, such as a triumph on theminiature golf course or the dampened but irrepressible hope ofbeing picked for a team, Katz creates some very amusing rhymes.Meanwhile, the energy and exaggeration in the droll, large-scaleillustrations amplify the humor of the verse tenfold.
