William Steig, incomparable master of the contemporary picture book, has never been better than in The Amazing Bone. It's a bright and beautiful spring day, and Pearl, a pig, is dawdling on her way home from school. Most unexpectedly, she strikes up an acquaintance with a small bone. "You talk?" says Pearl. "In any language," says the bone. "And I can imitate any sound there is." (Its former owner was a witch.) Pearl and the bone immediately take a liking to each other, and before you know it she is on her way home with the bone in her purse, left open so they can continue their conversation. Won't her parents be surprised when she introduces her talking bone! But before that happy moment comes, the resourceful bone must deal with a band of highway robbers in Halloween masks and, worse, a fox who decides that Pearl will be his main course at dinner that night. And deal it does, with gambits droll and thrilling. Made into a short animated film voiced by John Lithgow, available on streaming and home video.

He searches everywhere around the house, from the garden (no Bone) to the kitchen (no Bone!), and even in the bathroom—still no Bone! While he tries to calm himself with deep meditative breaths and creative yoga poses, he continues to get more and more worked up, leaving bigger and bigger messes in his wake. Where, oh where is Bone? Parents and kids will appreciate the idea of deep breaths and quiet moments as a great way to calm yourself – even if Balthazar himself isn’t all that successful. Laugh out loud as this loveable, lively dog breaks a bathroom and rides a tidal wave down the stairs, tracks mud all over furniture, and interrogates other animals to eventually find his best friend, Bone, in the place he least expects.
