Synopsis

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.

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

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!

• A feast for all those children who can’t get enough of sharks, big cats and other toothy predators.
• Stylish illustrations on every page and photographic zoom-ins bring the stories and facts to life.
• A sneaky lesson in diversity, Open Wide! illuminates the striking range of equipment animals carry in their mouths.

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!
