Joan's Bones

The third book in our Anatomy for Kids series! Joan’s Bones is the third in a series of educational children’s books about the human body. It presents facts about human bones in an entertaining, colorful manner. The book consists of 16 verses in limerick form. The verses are written by a neurosurgeon and masterfully illustrated by a seasoned professional. In addition to the facts presented, there is a glossary at the end of the book which provides both meanings of the medical terms as well as pronunciations. There is also a small winking bone hidden in the detail of each illustration for the reader to discern.
