Give Me Back My Bones!

 
★ 有趣、押韻的文字，如歌謠般唱出書中文句
★ 可愛的故事，學會各種骨頭的說法
 
誰能看到我的肩胛骨？
我聳肩時能撐住夾克的肩胛骨，
我一冷就發抖的肩胛骨，
喔，肩胛骨回來吧！
 
　　一個可憐的海盜死去了，他的骨頭被暴風雨吹得四散，在海底深處，海盜的頭骨很想找到其他散落在各處的骨頭，他大聲呼喚海裡的動物們來幫忙，在這裡丟下望遠鏡，在那裡捲起浪花，在不遠處敲敲打打。這邊有寶藏！頭骨從骨子裡就可以感覺得到！那是沉船的桅桿嗎？還是褪色的海盜帽？下頷骨、鎖骨、股骨⋯⋯但如果他將所有的骨頭都集合在一起，會發生什麼事？
 
　　《Give Me Back My Bones!》繪者以漆黑的海底為底，再用充滿各種顏色的海底生物和植物提供色彩繽紛的背景，搭配上每頁四行的押韻文句，讓讀者有趣到笑出聲來。押韻的文字、可愛的節奏，還有滑稽的骷髏試圖把自己拼起來，孩子將透過超級有創意的單字組合，不知不覺學會解剖學和骨頭的專有名詞。

　　A pirate skeleton seeks to put its bones back together in this rhyming first book of anatomy!

A stormy night at sea has uncovered some long-buried secrets and surprises. Is that the mast of a shipwreck? A faded pirate hat? And what’s that hiding in the sand? A mandible and a clavicle, phalanges and femurs, a tibia and a fibula – could there be a complete set of bones scattered across the ocean floor? And who might they belong to?

　　A jaunty rhyme takes readers on an underwater scavenger hunt as a comical skeleton tries to put itself back together piece by piece. Make no bones about it – this rollicking read-aloud will have young ones learning anatomy without even realizing.
