국내에는 베스트셀러 그림책인 "Hug Machine(꼬옥 안아 줄게)"와 "Sleepy, the Goodnight Buddy (잠잠아, 언제 잘 거야?)" 등의 번역서가 출간된 스콧 캠벨의 대표작 중 하나입니다.

자전거를 탈 때 왜 헬멧을 써야 하는지를 아이들이 스스로 깨닫게 해주는 내용입니다.

모든 사람들이 몸에 지니고 있음에도 불구하고, 대부분의 사람들이 무서워하는 것이 있습니다. 그것은 바로 머리뼈 (alias 두개골 또는 해골)입니다.

나이가 들수록 점점 강해지고 단단해지는 머리뼈는 사실은 우리 몸에서 매우 중요한 일을 합니다.

머리뼈는 우리의 뇌를 안전하고 포근하게 보호해주고,
머리뼈 중에서 턱뼈부분은 아래 위로 움직여서 음식을 씹어먹도록 해주며,
머리뼈는 우리의 얼굴모양을 만들어주고,
머리뼈에 있는 4개의 구멍을 통해 듣고, 보고, 냄새맡고, 숨쉬고, 음식을 먹게 해줍니다.
머리뼈는 대부분 아주 단단하지만, 톡 튀어나온 코에는 뼈 대신에 연골이 있습니다.

자 이제 머리뼈(해골)을 무서워할 필요는 없겠지요. 대신에 우리가 생각하고 느낄 수 있게 해주는 뇌를 안전하게 보호해주는 머리뼈(해골)에 대해서 고맙게 생각해야 합니다.

이런 소중한 머리뼈를 우리는 잘 보호해 줘야 하며, 그래서 자전거를 탈 때는 꼭 헬멧을 착용해야 합니다.

What is 하드커버? 양장본이라고도 불리우며, 표지가 단단한 판지로 만들어진 책입니다. 판지를 천이나 가죽으로 감싸기도 합니다. 책의 속지는 일반적으로 중성처리된 종이(Acid-free paper)를 사용해서 잘 변질이 되지 않기 때문에 오랫동안 보관하기에 적합합니다. 이 종류의 책은 더스트 재킷, 또는 더스트 커버로 불리는 표지덮개가 함께 있는 경우가 많습니다. 간혹 내부 속지가 콩기름 코팅이 된 경우 고약한 냄새가 나는 책도 있습니다.

하드커버책입니다.

Book Description
Debut picture book author Blair Thornburgh and award-winning illustrator Scott Campbell put their heads together to celebrate one of the most important bones in your body: the skull!
You probably don’t think much about skulls.
So what’s the big deal about them?
Well, every head
of every person
you’ve ever seen
has a skull inside.
And that includes YOU!
This smart, skull-positive story cheerfully dispels any fears kids might have about their skeletons, flipping our view of skulls from a spooky symbol to a fascinating, cool, and crucial part of our bodies.


Publisher's Weekly
"This highly entertaining disquisition reminds readers, things that seem frightening at first can become quite wonderful once you get to know them."


BCCB
"Balances gracefully on the edge between comically informative and spooky; audiences wary of scares may find the straightforward cheer reassuring, while those who embrace the skeletal dark side will still have plenty of bony visages to admire. . . . This has obvious potential for Halloween/Día de los Muertos use, but it also has entertaining year-round possibilities for kids to get into their own headspace - literally."


The Horn Book
"With snappy writing Thornburgh describes a skull’s importance (it’s “a car seat for your brain”) and its functions (it gives a face its shape; it holds teeth in place; and more). . . . Campbell packs plenty of humor into his muted watercolor illustrations (the grim reaper sips from a juice box) in this jaunty paean to human skulls."


Kirkus Reviews
"A page of 'Cool Skull Facts!' opposite a final, fairly anatomically correct image gives this good odds of becoming a STEM and storytime favorite. Readers who have never thought of it before will agree: 'Take care of your skull, because you only get one.'"


Booklist
"Guaranteed to get kids giggling and proclaiming, 'I love my skull!'"


BookPage
"Skulls may often be associated with death and mortality, but this life-affirming book is breezy and ebullient. You can say it again: Skulls were never more fun."


School Library Journal
"The carefree tone and tidbits of humor, such as the girl’s love of grilled cheese sandwiches, make this an amusing introduction for young students of the human body."


Shelf Awareness
"Campbell's sweetly absurd illustrations will help little ones learn not to fear the Reaper, whom he shows contentedly sipping a juice box. The quirky watercolor scenes support Thornburgh's offbeat narrative perfectly. . . . Between the popularity of Halloween and el Día de los Muertos, some families will find Skulls! a useful tool for comforting and educating young children who may find the holidays' skeleton-heavy imagery unsettling. Parents and teachers will also likely appreciate the list of skull facts in the end matter, ideal for engaging a skull's contents. This authoritatively positive demystification of cranial bones - with its recurring theme of grilled cheese appreciation--is sure to have preschool through early elementary-aged readers shouting, 'I love my skull!'"


Parents Magazine
"Amusing and engaging. Through clever comparisons (a skull is “a car seat for your brain”) and dialogue, the book brilliantly explains the purpose of this set of bones."
