Ten record-breaking animal bones are introduced through a series of superlatives set up as a guessing game with clues. Readers examine animals' skeletons and guess to whom they belong; the answers are revealed in vibrant, full-color scenic habitats, with easily understood — and humorous — explanations. This entertaining introduction to the connection between animal bones (anatomy) and behavior is playful, relatable, and includes touch-and-feel finishes that bring the bones to life!

What reviewers said
'[Gives] both casual browsers and budding naturalists plenty to gnaw on... A rib-tickling gallery.'
'Both fascinating and informative. Different, intelligent and entertaining. Definitely worth buying.'
'A nonfiction standout ... This fascination book will get kids jazzed about both bones and the cool animals.'
'A stylish introduction to how specialized and different bones can be.'
'As you'd expect from Phaidon the illustrations are first class and they really caught my eye. It's record breakers of the animal kingdom from a bone perspective. I really like this approach as it is different from many of the other animal non-fiction books that we have and it brings in new facts and information for my little, fact-seeking sponge to soak up. One thing I liked about it is the question and answer approach ... A good-looking hardback book... Would make a lovely gift.'
'The book is both engaging and informative with its superb illustrations and well written record breaking facts. Each page keeps you guessing which animal it could be with clever clues ... There are sure to be a few surprises in there too.'
