Publisher Description:

Open wide! Compare your teeth to those of other animals and find out why teeth come in so many different shapes and sizes.

What animal would you be if a few of your teeth grew so long that they stuck out of your mouth even when it was closed? What would you be if your top canine teeth grew almost all the way down to your feet? This picture book will keep you guessing as you read about how human teeth are like--and unlike--those of other animals.

Praise for Bone by Bone: Comparing Animal Skeletons

Children will enjoy the humorous illustrations and labeled diagrams as they predict the morphing of a human skeleton, Dr. Moreau-style, into that of various animals.--Booklist

[Levine's] 'what if' questions are right on target for young learners, connecting them to the subject and extending their imaginations.--Kirkus Reviews

[I]nteractive and thought-provoking.--School Library Journal

Spookytooth, T. S.: -

T.S Spookytooth has been illustrating for many years. Throughout these years of brandishing a paintbrush, he has explored the diverse fields of children's picture books; magazine and newspaper illustrations; and advertising, packaging, and illustrating for websites.

When not working on illustration commissions, he likes to find time to work on many of his own personal projects. He keeps these projects locked in a suitcase but sometimes he forgets where he left the key. An ideal day for Mr. Spookytooth is to ponder and then to draw these ponderings. Some food is fitted in along the way followed by more ponderings and the occasional readjustment of his bow tie, but ponderings are the main order of the day.

He also lives in a house with Mrs. Spookytooth and thankfully she is fond of a ponder as well . . . and is good at finding lost keys.
