From the back cover: "Halloween skeletons are just for fun, but the skeleton inside you is very real. Your actual skeleton is made up of 206 bones--64 just in you hands and arms. some of the bones are soft, but most are hard. Some are round, some flat, some big, others small. They all grow as you grow. Without your skeleton you would be like a big floppy beanbag that could not stand or run, jump or play."

What does your skeleton do?

Your skeleton helps you leap, somersault, and touch your toes—without it, you would be as floppy as a beanbag! There are over 200 bones living and growing inside you that make up your skeleton. There are also ligaments and joints that hold your bones together, and cartilage in your bendable parts like your ears and your nose. Learn all about what a skeleton can do—because this isn't some make-believe Halloween skeleton, this is the real skeleton inside you.
