Each of these bones has three layers.

The outside layer is hard, like a shell.
This shell makes bones strong.
Whee!
The inside layers are soft, like a sponge. These layers
make blood. They also store water and minerals.

Bones hold you up and give your body shape.
Without them your body would look like an empty balloon.

Bones also keep you safe.
Skreee!
They protect organs such
