A Book About Your Skeleton

A Book About Your Skeleton by Ruth Belov Gross

This book also gives basic facts about the skeleton and other parts of the body, and how they are all connected to one another. It also gives simple examples of how the parts work together and how vital they are to the way you move from day to day.

The cover that I have is different than the cover pictured above. I don't know if I really like this book or would just use it to teach about the skeleton and the body. It is outdated for the most part and almost too basic. I think it undermines the amount of knowledge that children can hold and breaks it down to such a short level that it would probably be difficult to hold the interest of children. This book however, combined with a KWL chart and more colorful, lively books about the same subject would be more successful to teach with. Also, books that offer children more opportunity to be hands on with their OWN bodies (ie, touch your joints in your fingers) would be beneficial as well.
