Review quotes
Praise for What If You Had Animal Teeth!?: Will surely satisfy animal enthusiasts and trivia lovers, and dentists and parents will appreciate the mention of ways to keep human chompers healthy. — Booklist It's a hilarious and instructive combination that makes it clear just how variable and individually suited this aspect of anatomy is, and the art takes the concept and runs — well, chomps — with it. — Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Delightful illustrations and factual presentations of animals make this a valuable purchase for early elementary classrooms and libraries. — Library Media Connection The lively text, photographs, and quirky illustrations charmingly tell a great tooth story. — International Reading Association
