Open Wide!

Join scientist Letizia Diamante to chomp your way through pages of facts about the most astonishing mouths, sharpest teeth, stretchiest cheeks and stickiest tongues in the animal kingdom.

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!

"Beautifully illustrated and full of quirky facts, the author has created a book that’s a joy to read."

"A joyous bombardment of facts amidst colourful illustrations … Well researched and beautifully illustrated, it’s the kind of book children will come back to time and time again."

"Children are particularly aware of teeth, with the loss of milk teeth and growth of adult teeth being so present for them, and I love the way the book taps into that experience."
