Publisher's Weekly Starred Review " ... Barner's ... cut and torn collages are geared for tickling the funny bones of the early elementary set. No bones about it, this will be a real boost for those looking to inject a little humor and fun into basic facts about the human body." The Horn Book Lively paper collage illustrations of a skeleton jazz band and the lyrics to "Dem Bones" are accompanied by facts about each bone named in the song. A diagram at the back of the book provides more scientific terms for each bone, and a two-page gathering of all the skeletons with different bones highlighted gives readers an opportunity to review. Boston Globe "Here's understandable science combined with high-jinks humor and a toe (bone) - tapping tune."

Dem Bones the movie Publisher's Weekly Starred Review “ Bob Barner's book is brought to bone-shaking life in this animated musical that connects song to information. Raul Malo's toe-tapping music makes this skeleton band rattle and tickles funny bones.” - 2004 ALA Notable Video Committee   “While(a) great sing-along and authentic spiritual, (this video) also introduces musical instruments...(and is) a musical science lesson especially timely around Halloween or Day of the Dead when kids of all ages will enjoy constructing their own dancing skeletons to join in the fun.” - School Library Journal * Finalist, International Family Film Festival * Silver Award, Worldfest-Houston   More Dem Bones
