Book Synopsis

Explore the most marvellous mouths of the animal kingdom, from the awesome jaws of the great white shark to the tiny teeth of the garden snail. Some animals sport tongues that are longer than their bodies, others have super-sticky spit that can speedily snare an insect snack. And animals use their mouths for lots of things other than just eating – to carry their food or their babies, to build their homes or even to climb waterfalls!

Join scientist and author Letizia Diamante to discover some of the most important animal body parts that are often overlooked, even though they’re right under our noses!

Our Review Panel says...

Anyone fascinated by animals or nature will love this book. The whole premise of the book is to look in detail at animals’ mouths. How do they eat? How do certain animals use their mouths to travel, or call for help? All of the answers can be found inside this book.

The facts are presented straightforwardly so that they can be easily understood by children. The illustrations help bring the information alive. For example, in a section about which animal has the longest tongue, the anteater is depicted, and the termite nest is shown in cross-section to enable the reader to picture clearly how far the tongue goes.

This is a fascinating information book to aid science topics on habitats and adaptation, and one that will be snapped up by the jaws of fact-loving readers in lower KS2.
