Inspired by books of world records, bone superlatives invite readers to guess the animals and touch their skeletons! Ten record-breaking animal bones are introduced through a series of superlatives (the largest bone, the heaviest bone, even the spikiest bone!), set up as a guessing game with visual and narrative clues. Readers examine the animal's skeleton and guess to whom it belongs; the answer is then revealed via page-turn to a vibrant, full-colour spread, accompanied by an explanation as to why that particular animal's bones are so special. This humorous and informative introduction to the connection between animal bones (anatomy) and behaviour is full of fun, relatable facts as well as touchand- feel finishes that bring the bones to life!
