Give Me Back My Bones!

Kim Norman, illustrated by Bob Kolar

A pirate skeleton searches the ocean floor for its scattered bones. Told in four-line verses, the skeleton’s quest moves from the skull to the phalanges, with each verse naming the scientific term for the bone or bones it seeks. The underwater setting includes colorful sea creatures, while the missing bones remain central to the skeleton’s comic predicament. The book combines a pirate adventure beneath the waves with anatomical vocabulary.
