Inventive and stylish, informative and whimsical, this conceptual
picture book from a noted cut-paper artist invites young readers to
"guess the animal" by perusing its bones.
Whose bones? A scattering of tiny bones, spread across a vivid
background, seem to offer no clues. But turn the page and the bones have
elegantly come together, revealing the form of a snake or a lion, a
crocodile or an elephant, a flamingo or even a whale. Every vibrant
spread of this fascinating book features the skeleton--and also a
stylized representation--of a different animal. Even the youngest of
readers are invited to scrutinize the visual clues to figure out whose
bones are portrayed in this fascinating introduction to vertebrates.
