This book has everything you could possibly want to know about animal tongues.

Most animals have one, but that's where the similarities end! Snakes smell with theirs, penguins use them to hang on to slippery fish, dogs use theirs to keep cool and giraffes twirl them around leaves to pluck them from the highest branches.

The variety of ways in which animals use their tongues is truly staggering and this fantastic book has got all the facts on animal tongues, licked! Amazing photographs illustrate the tongues of the animal kingdom and all the extraordinary ways they have evolved to help their owner live in harmony with the living world.

You didn't know you needed a book on animal tongues - but you'll soon be wondering why you didn't get one sooner! This is a really cool way to take a sideways look at the animal kingdom.

For readers aged 8. Perfect for kids studying natural history and animal body adaptations at key stage 2.
Also available in this series: Animal Tails.

About the Author
Tim Harris has been fascinated by all aspects of the natural world since a young age. After studying Norwegian glaciers at university, his quest for wildlife has seen him explore the giant dunes of the Namib Desert, climb the slopes of Popocatepetl in Mexico, camp in the Sumatran rainforest, and search the frozen Sea of Okhotsk for sea-eagles. Tim has written books about nature and the environment for both children and adults, including the award-winning Migration Hotspots: the World's Best Bird Migration Sites. Apart from birds, his special interests are bats, moths, glaciers, and the weather.
