Osteoblasts to the Rescue: An Imaginative Journey Through the Skeletal System (Human Body Detectives) (Volume 4)
In Osteoblasts to the Rescue, Dr. Heather Manley authors an entertaining and inspiring look at the Skeletal System. Reading illustrated books with your children becomes even more valuable when the story reminds us that laughter is good for the immune system, that we should practice prevention, that healthy eating really does matter, that yoga is good for balance and bones, that kale tastes great and that we all need to take care of ourselves, and each other.Lisa BordenBORDEN COMMUNICATIONS + DESIGN Exceptional Ideas .
