Bookroo's summary

What if your front teeth were replaced by a beaver's or a shark's? Dive into a whimsical journey where children's teeth transform into those of various animals, from narwhals to crocodiles. Each page reveals how these unique teeth aid in survival, while humorous illustrations show kids with their new chompers. As the adventure unfolds, discover why your own teeth are perfect just the way they are. This playful exploration not only entertains but also reminds young readers to cherish and care for their one-of-a-kind smiles.

From the publisher

If you could have any animal’s front teeth, whose would you choose?WHAT IF YOU HAD ANIMAL TEETH takes children on a fun, informative, and imaginative journey as they explore what it would be like if their own front teeth were replaced by those of a different animal. Featuring a dozen animals (beaver, great white shark, narwhal, elephant, rattlesnake, naked mole rat, hippopotamus, crocodile, and more), this book explores how different teeth are especially adapted for an animal’s survival. At the end of the book, children will discover why their own teeth are just right for them. And they’ll also get a friendly reminder to take good care of their teeth, because they’re the only teeth they’ll ever have. Each spread features a photograph of the animal using its specialized teeth on the left and a humorous illustrated image of a child using that animal’s teeth on the right.
