About this ebook

What animal would you be if a few of your teeth grew so long that they stuck out of your mouth even when it was closed? What would you be if your top canine teeth grew almost all the way down to your feet?

This picture book will keep you guessing as you read about how human teeth are like―and unlike―those of other animals.

How are you similar to animals? How are you different? These entertaining picture books from educator and veterinarian Sara Levine and illustrator T.S Spookytooth explore comparative anatomy and give readers the chance to find out how their skeletons, teeth, and eyes match up with a wide variety of animals from the past and present. Packed with surprising animal facts that will delight readers of all ages!

    TOOTH BY TOOTH: COMPARING FANGS, TUSKS, AND CHOMPERS by Sara Levine is a fun follow-up to the popular Bone by Bone.This informational picture book designed for the primary grades introduces readers to the teeth of mammals. Taking a question-and-answer approach, children are asked to look at their own teeth, then think about the teeth of other creatures including dogs, cats, and bears. T.S. Spookytooth’s illustrations add to the fun, but they also contribute to the high-quality learning experience.Information about animal adaptations adds depth to the text. The book includes additional facts, a glossary, bibliography, and online resources.Librarians will find the humorous approach will appeal to young readers who enjoy informational reading. Use this book as the focus of a dental health display that includes nonfiction works along with models of teeth.Published by Lerner Publishing Group on March 1, 2016. ARC courtesy of the publisher.

    This book teaches young children about teeth. They learn about mammal teeth, what they are used for and which animals have various teeth. They also learn what they call animals that eat certain types of food (herbivores, omnivores, carnivores). It does touch upon reptiles and fish but just at the end, the book is basically about mammals. The illustrations are amazing. The colourful, detailed pictures will pull in the curious reader, especially the boys who like yucky, weird stuff. The book is not boring with just facts, it is told in a fun, engaging way. The author also includes additional resources and websites at the end.

    I would recommend this book for primary students (4 to 8) especially when they are learning about the body and its jobs as well as about animals.

    I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
