About this book

If you could have any animal's tongue, whose would you choose?

What if you woke up one morning and your tongue wasn't yours? What If You Had an Animal Tongue!? — the next imaginative book in the What If You Had series — explores what would happen if you looked in the mirror and saw an animal's tongue instead of your own! From a Komodo dragon's split, yellow tongue (which can detect food from five miles away) to a woodpecker's long, thorny tongue (used to dig into trees for food), discover what it would be like if you had these special tongues — and find out why your tongue is just the right one for you!

Reviews

Praise for What If You Had Animal Teeth!?:

"Will surely satisfy animal enthusiasts and trivia lovers, and dentists and parents will appreciate the mention of ways to keep human chompers healthy." -- Booklist

"It's a hilarious and instructive combination that makes it clear just how variable and individually suited this aspect of anatomy is, and the art takes the concept and runs -- well, chomps -- with it." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Delightful illustrations and factual presentations of animals make this a valuable purchase for early elementary classrooms and libraries." -- Library Media Connection

"The lively text, photographs, and quirky illustrations charmingly tell a great tooth story." -- International Reading Association
