Description
Whether their diets include plants, insects or other creatures, animals eat in some weird and fascinating ways.
Quick Summary
Animals eat in the wildest ways, and this book reveals the jaw-dropping, tongue-twisting, sometimes disgusting methods creatures use to get their meals. Readers will marvel at snakes unhinging their jaws to swallow whole prey, hummingbirds sipping nectar with straw-like tongues, and sharks replacing thousands of teeth throughout their lives. If your kid loves the gross-out science in "Garbage Pail Kids" or enjoys learning weird animal facts, they will be obsessed with this mouth-open reading experience. Perfect for kids ages 9 to 12 in grades 4 through 7 who cannot get enough wacky nonfiction about animals.
