Chomp! - by Yoann Cantine (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A Junior Library Guild Selection!

The ultimate book about teeth for young readers--from healthy habits to fascinating fangs!

Teeth are amazing! They help us smile, speak, and chew. Adult humans have 32 teeth that grow twice during our lifetime, while some other animals, like sharks, have hundreds of teeth that can grow up to 30,000 times! And just like fingerprints, every animal's teeth are completely unique. Each tooth has its own shape, job, and special features.

Packed with surprising facts--Vikings had lots of cavities--and amazing animals like dogs, alligators, bats, and elephants (among many others), Chomp! will help kids satisfy their curiosity and value their dental health. They'll understand how and why they need to take care of their teeth every day--all while learning, exploring, and having fun!
