So happy there’s a book that can teach me how to use my tongue

[Samantha Davis-durham · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a real page-turner we had no idea there were so many tongues out there. I really liked the textures that were available of the different types of tongues. This book also put to rest at age old question about what color a giraffe tongue really is. I won't tell you I'll let you find out for yourself

Me: quick fun adjective exploration that allows for lots of sticking your tongue out.

Alex: the flavors are silly!

Owen: I love it! My brother takes it sometimes, but then I can read it again.

Honestly at this point I just admire Van Fleet's ability to write an entire book of rhyme about any body part.

What a fun subject for a board book! A types of animal tongues are featured and pages offer a touch and feel experience for readers. Several push and pull flaps introduce motion to the book's illustrations.

I can't wait to read this book aloud! Must see/read/feel!

a Board book with movable parts...and a chance to touch different types of surfaces, such as scratchy, squishy and slick, and to learn some colors (based on animals' tongues). a fun book for a Toddler.

Tongues are wonderful things. Not only can they taste but can express your moods. Clever pull-tabs and tickly textures in this hands-on read-aloud book will put toddlers face-to-face with cute critters and their playful tongues! Reviewer 17

Adorable! This was the anchor of my storytime about tongues. :) I wish it were bigger, but I just told the kiddos to scoot in close. They loved it, and I thought it was fun, too. In addition, all copies of the book checked out immediately after storytime, so you know it was a hit!

I think this one is a lot cuter than its predecessor, SNIFF!

It's not as dirty as it sounds, I promise.

Cute, interactive, and couldn't think of a better ending;-)

Mommy says I always jump when anything "licks" and I love to touch this book. She enjoys reading it to me when I've got energy but she wants me to start winding down.

The things that tongues can do! Rhyming story with sturdy pull tabs.

[Parker · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one he mostly likes bc things move when you pull the flaps...

[Elizabeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not much (anything) story wise, but interactive and fun for kids.
