Bones are important,
They do a big job.
Without them, you'd be just
A big squooshy blob.

In BONE POEMS, Jeff Moss rhapsodizes over T. Rex, celebrates Quetzalcoatlus, offers a ditty to Deinocheirus and a ballad to Brontosaurus. There's a dinosaur math quiz, free verse about a basketball-size dinosaur egg, and one of the world's shortest poems with one of the world's longest titles.

Inspired by the bones of dinosaurs and early mammals on display at the American Museum of Natural History, the author has created poems that are fresh, funny and delightfully off-beat. They are a joy to read—and read and read again.
