A closer look at teeth, from daily care to animal adaptations

Teeth connect everyday health with the variety of life in the animal world. Chomp! introduces what human teeth do and why daily care matters, then broadens the subject through examples including dogs, alligators, bats, elephants, and sharks. Comparisons in tooth shape, function, and renewal give young readers a way to explore how teeth differ across species, while historical details add another angle to the topic. The book brings dental health and animal facts together in a compact, illustrated nonfiction format for children.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children curious about animals and unusual facts about their bodies
  • Young readers learning about teeth and everyday dental care
  • Families or educators looking for a nonfiction topic that connects health and the natural world

Book overview

★ " An excellent resource that lends a lively, humorous tone to a straightforward topic." - SLJ (STARRED review)

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!
