I was okay with this book until the "romance" part of it. Then I just laughed a lot and couldn't take the book seriously any more. Although I suppose, for a middle school audience, the romance was appropriate.

I like this book. I think it gives a pretty good overview of what bones are, how they work, and has neat illustrations comparing our bones to animal bones.

I think I like this story so much because it reminds me of my own behavior at the beach when I was a child.

I was a little disappointed by this book. I wanted to know why the cow was eating cookies in the first place. I never got over that.

Who hasn't wished their little brother would just go away?

I was a little confused by the concept at first, but once I started reading it, I really enjoyed it.

It has been a little while since I read this book, but I remember thinking that it was just eh for me. It was not what I was expecting.
