Skeletons, skeletons!

My 4-year-old has been asking some great questions lately. What's inside my body? Does a fish have bones? What doesn't have bones? (Really? I was happy to look up a book on invertebrates, especially jellyfish...)  What's inside my ear? What's inside my carseat? What's a pillow made of?  Why does that (raw) chicken have blood in it? Poor chicken...
Anyway, of the few books on bones we've found, this is our favorite. We've tickled the "cord" in her back, the "cage" in her chest and the "helmet" in her head. Animal skeletons are featured, and if you hold the individual page up to the light, you can see through the page to the other side where the animal's body is drawn around the skeleton!
