Animal Spikes and Spines Teeth

This title introduces readers to teeth, how they help animals to survive, and how different they can look.

“This volume gives youngsters a basic introduction to various animals' teeth, focusing mostly on appearance ("Some teeth are long and orange. What animal is this?"). Vivid, close-up photographs (e.g., of a beaver, to answer the question above) are more engaging and instructive than the repetitive text. Human teeth are mentioned at the end. A gratuitous "Can You Remember?" page is appended. Glos., ind. - EJM (Betsy Murray) The Horn Book Spring 2012”

This series provides young readers with colored photographs and brief text about animal body parts. Each book shows the body part on the five animals, identifying it in a photograph, and telling if humans also have it. The easy-to-read text makes the books good for beginning readers, however, purchase of the series depends on your need for animal books that beginning readers can enjoy independently. Glossary.
