Open Wide! cover

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!

"The vivid illustrations and accessible interactive content really bring the biology to life."

"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."

* Manchester Evening News *

"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."

* Juno Magazi
