This book asks the question, If you could have any animal's front teeth, whose would you choose? Following this question, this book takes readers on a fun, informative, and imaginative exploration of what it would be like if instead of their own front teeth, they had those of a different animal. I give this book 4 out of 4 stars due to the fun and engaging way of teaching young readers about the oral structure of various animals like beavers, sharks, elephants, snakes, hippos, and more. It not only displays the teeth, but also explains how different teeth are needed for survival in each animals environment.

This books sounds like it would be a really fun read, and that kids would love to read it. It's a fascinating way to read about the teeth of different animals, while also imagining having their teeth instead of your own.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like sometihing I would have read over and over when I was a little kid. It sounds like a very good description of different animal teeth, and what it would b like to have them. I think it's very important to teach children about animals, and what their abilities are.
ReplyDeleteI really like the concept of this book! I think it is such an interesting take, especially since people don't usually think about the type of teeth they would want to have! This is a great way to engage students into reading a non-fiction, especially since readers can connect the book to themselves. If I could have any animals teeth I would probably want Beavers teeth, because I would be able to build my own home anywhere, so I would always be able to travel anywhere and live anywhere where there was a river.
ReplyDeleteWow, the cover art alone would capture some children's attention to want to read this book. A very interesting concept to help children connect animals' features to their own.
