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, while others have super-sticky spit that can speedily snare an insect snack. Animals use their mouths for a variety of purposes beyond eating — to carry their food or their babies, to build their homes, or even to climb waterfalls!

Join scientist and author Letizia Diamante in Open Wide! to discover some of the most important animal body parts that are often overlooked, even though they’re right under our noses!
