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!

• A feast for all those children who can’t get enough of sharks, big cats and other toothy predators.
• Children aged 7+ are especially aware of their own mouths as they lose their milk teeth and have adult teeth grow in their
  place. Open Wide! compares their teeth to those of their favourite animals (and some super weird ones, too).
• Author Letizia Diamante is a scientist and science communicator with a knack for sharing cutting-edge information in a
  playful, wow-worthy way that is sure to engage budding young scientists.
• 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.
