Take one traditional song, exuberant illustrations, and a spirited musician/ narrator--and a listening treasure awaits you! Chris Thomas King has taken the favorite "bones song," engagingly illustrated by Bob Barner, and added music, as well as his own expanded text. Did you know that the shoulder bone is the most frequently broken bone of children? Or how many bones are in the "neck bone" that enables you to nod your head in time to music? And that the skull protects the brain when you stand on your head? King adds a list of some of the 216 bones, with both their common and scientific names. The musical accompaniment will have all your bones a-dancing to the rhythm! A.R. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine

 

“…a listening treasure…. The musical accompaniment will have all your bones a-dancing to the rhythm!”

 

“Children will quickly catch onto the melody, memorize the refrain and have no trouble singing along ... the narrator shares a few facts about each bone.... Young students will surely remember some, if not all, of the information presented.”

 

"... featuring Raul Malo’s Dixieland-inspired score, this bouncy romp introduces the skeletal system.... The classic tune will stick in your head for days.”

 

“This musical science lesson is especially timely around Halloween or Day of the Dead when kids of all ages will enjoy constructing their own paper dancing skeletons to join in the fun.”
