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.
