Product Description:

The truth about bones may surprise some young readers: As people get older, the number of bones they have actually decreases. A spine isn't straight - even when a person stands tall, it's shaped like an "S." But that's no sign of weakness. The rib cage is like a knight's armor - it protects the heart, stomach, and lungs. Children and adults alike will never again take for granted the miracle that is their skeleton.
