Synopsis:
A silly pirate skeleton seeks to put its bones back together in this rhyming romp beneath the waves.
Cast a spyglass 'round here
while breakers curl and pound here.
There's treasure to be found here --
I feel it in my bones!
A stormy night at sea has uncovered some long-buried secrets and surprises. Is that the mast of a shipwreck? A faded pirate hat? And what's that hiding in the sand? A mandible and a clavicle, phalanges and femurs, a tibia and a fibula -- could there be a set of bones scattered across the ocean floor? And who might they belong to? A jaunty rhyme takes readers on an underwater scavenger hunt as a comical skeleton tries to put itself back together piece by piece. Make no bones about it: this rollicking read-aloud will have young ones learning anatomy without even realizing it.

Our Thoughts:
Help this scurvy peg-legged pirate skeleton put itself back together in this fascinating and humorous picture book!
Give Me Back My Bones is both humorous and educational! The front end pages show the skeleton in many pieces with the names of the bones beside each one. Then the story begins and we plunder the bottom of the ocean for the skeleton's missing bones!
This book has fun rhymes and fantastic illustrations that made us happy to read it again and again! It's the perfect way to transition your child from 'head, shoulders, knees, and toes' and simple body parts to what lies beneath the skin!
My daughter loved this one so much she asked me to read it several times a day and now knows the names of the bones featured in this story by heart!
This was a perfect read with Halloween coming up even though there is nothing spooky about it beyond the skeleton itself!
