Quog and Oort need to get to their friend, Kevin's birthday party but their plans are thwarted by mechanical mishaps. Being mere gas clouds renders them handless, a slight disability when one needs to engineer urgent spaceship repairs.
Despite Quog growing a pair of arms with hands, he is still plagued with difficulty. What could possibly arm Quog with the strength he needs to succeed?
The answer lies in pages of informative and colourful, scientific interactive fun. Through this very simple but engaging picture book, youngsters are able to glimpse inside the human body and develop an understanding of not just the bones and muscles that enable us to move and function as we do, but also all the various bits and pieces of the fascinating pulley system that holds everything altogether. It's brilliant.
These creators never fail to give a lot of bang for your biological buck. This is physiology 101 at its most ingenious. Highly recommended for boffins of biology and 3+.

Cute, very fun book that uses a couple of shipwrecked aliens to explain what is going on inside our hands (bones, muscles & nerves). Very similar in tone to Do Not Lick This Book and just as much fun.

This is an interactive picture book done right!

This book isn't TOTALLY nonfiction, but using aliens, it teaches factual information about what is under our skin - bones, muscles, and nerves - and how those things give our bodes structure and help us move. It focuses on just these three things, which I think works well for the target age group (ages 4-6) who can only absorb so much information at once. I can see this being read multiple times.
There's an interactive element (push the "button" and turn the page to see... Put your hand here...) which I'm personally not really a fan of, but it works for some kids who get really involved.

Another fun book from the creators of "Do not lick this book".
It's clever, but I have to say not quite as impressive as their first project.
Kids love the interactivity in these books (push this spot, give him five, turn the page with your eyes closed) and it's one I think will be read over and over again.

I’m giving it 5!
This is a 2023 Monarch contender. It’s interactive, nonfiction, and very easy to read. As soon as we were done, George asked to read it again. I think it has a chance to win maybe?!

April 11, 2021Sometimes, aliens need a little helping hand. Well, Oort and Quog certainly do when they crash land on their way to a friend’s birthday party.
Argh! There’s a Skeleton Inside You! is an information picture book aimed at readers ages 4+. It’s a fabulous mix of fun, fact and fiction with bright, engaging illustrations throughout...

4yo and I equally delighted/amused by this.

1/20/23 ~ This book has generated more interactions during read alouds than any book I've ever shared with the elementary students in my library. (It's a nominee for my state student choice award, the Young Hoosier Book Award, so I read it aloud 14 times in a single week.)
Even my 3rd graders got into the fun of pushing & lifting the book (i.e. the aliens' spaceship engine). It was also fun to see who noticed Quog's 6 appendages (5 fingers and a thumb.) They were also aghast when I told them they only had 4 fingers on each hand. Then, we had to re-examine every page to see where the blue alien first appeared. Most of the kids simply didn't believe me when I told them the creature appeared around p. 4, not p. 20 (approximately).
This book also sparked great conversations about predictions (what part of the body would we discuss next (bones had already been discussed, so probably not bones; skin is ON the hand, not in the hand, so that's probably not the third item, etc.)

It's gets to its information in a roundabout way- the story serves the information, but there's more story than information, if that makes sense. This is pretty unusual for even picture book nonfiction. However, I kind of like how it focuses on a few key concepts that the story *really* reinforces. So you may only come away from it having learned three things, but they're learned GOOD. Plus, the story itself is funny and silly and amusing. This could go in the picture book section just as easily as nonfiction.

This book made me DIE laughing. Quog and Oort need hands to get a birthday party......so they ask the audience to help with putting their hands on the page......
Every time this happens we learn about bones in our hands....muscles in our hands.....nerves in our hands....educational and fun reads are my favorite. This author also wrote "Do Not Lick This Book" which is another favorite of mine ;)

Great (and funny) interactive science book for littles.

This is probably the best anatomy book that has ever existed.
February 13, 2021
Sometimes Oliver has a hard time with monsters in his books -- he won't touch them. But I figured the woobly wobbly critter on the front is right up his alley and I was not wrong. He really enjoyed the heck out of this book. He enjoyed putting his hand up for Oort to scan, and learned about the parts of the hand. He's been very interested in anatomy lately so I am glad that this book is out there explaining how muscles work in relation to bones.

An interactive book. A gas cloud alien and a blob alien need your help to fix their spaceship. And everyone gets an anatomy lesson along the way.

I don’t leave reviews for kids’ books often but this one was really good! My kids loved all the interactive elements to the book (placing your hand on a page so Quog could see what made you so strong, or turning the page with your eyes closed so you see how your nerves help you feel things). Plus it got them really excited about science without being really overwhelming (like too many other kids learning books are). My kids are 4 and 2 and they both enjoyed it.

Combine the interactivity of Hervé Tullet's "Press Here" with silly aliens (a blob and a cloud) and a real exploration of what your hand is made of, and you have a fabulous, toddler-friendly book. I could see using this in storytimes for Halloween, aliens, or our body. I liked that the cover even had a shiny hand-shaped area super-imposed over the alien. The endpapers have even more information about how our hands work.

Quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Again, such an awesome interactive and kid-friendly non-fiction book. I cannot wait to share this during story time!
March 25, 2021
A cute, interactive picture book in a similar style as Bob Shea's Scariest Book Ever. I was surprised to see this labelled nonfiction and know it would circulate much better with the picture books. While there is facts, it is more story-heavy than information-heavy. I loved the creative way it taught kids about what's inside their hand and think kids will get I kick out of it.

A fun mix of silliness and anatomy facts! My girls enjoyed this, there were lots of giggles.

An interactive children's nonfiction book--does life get better?? This was a darling introductory adventure into the human body with a bit of a storyline to boot. After meeting a pair of aliens, you help them repair the ship using the awesome abilities of your human body (skeleton, muscles, nerves). The aliens ask you to do little tasks like open doors and hold up your hand. Very cute for preschool and early grades!

Alien develops bones, muscles and nerves (shown in cutaways) to complete tasks. Funny and fresh.

A great gift or book to add to your kids collection. Interactive and fun.
October 30, 2021
Fun and interactive book where kids show aliens what's inside our bodies that allows structure, movement and feel. Two Aliens on their way to a birthday party need your help to figure out how to do things like open a door, lift an engine and find a light switch in the dark.
Once you've helped them get to the party, they give their friend a touching gift involving their newfound properties - a hug!

So adorable. Perfect way to show your skeletal, muscle and nerves system. Plus it is interactive. Great book for kids. B

Here's an author to follow. This funny, interactive picture book will teach your 4-9 year-old about the human body (bones, muscles and nerves) in basic terms.

Another brilliant picture book from the creators of one of our household favourites, Do Not Lick this Book. This is one to read again and again; it's engaging, interactive, informative and fun. A very toddler-friendly introduction to some elements of the human body such as bones, muscles, nerves and skin.

This team is so clever! After their prophetic title about germs, Do Not Lick This Book, they're back with an intergalactic interactive storybook that teaches us about the body systems. I kid you not, even my youngest library patrons left this storytime being able to converse about the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. All nonfiction should b this fun!!
December 20, 2022
The kids LOVED interacting with the book (all raised their hands to have a turn) and it did a nice job of explaining (in a fun and quirky way) how our body moves and how it's comprised. MORE INTERACTIVE BOOKS PLEASE!

Goodreads says this title begins with Aargh! Interesting, as the book I read does not have Aargh! in the title. Same illustrated cover, but title is “There’s a skeleton inside you!” Really well done book about hands and the bones, and the muscles and nerves inside of those hands. Easy to understand with some humor, along with great illustrated images of the insides of our hands. More detailed information is included at the end. It’s an easy to read nonfiction book for beginner readers but older readers will enjoy it too.
