Full of fun facts about animal tongues, like a chameleon's tongue is hollow and a blue whale's tongue weighs as much as an elephant the child learns about 5 different animals with interesting tongues.

Engineered so that the child can pull out the tongue of each animal and let it "snap" back in. remarkably, it's not designed for adult fingers, I found the tabs tricky to grab and a bit hard to pull, but my pre-schooler had no trouble at all and it made a very satisfying "snap" as she let it go - like the animal was pulling it back inside their mouth.

Learn a simple fact about five animals who have unique tongues. Pull a tab to see the animal's tongue and let the tab go for a satisfying "snap" back into place.

This is really cute and feels surprisingly durable. Filled with Bob Barner's illustrations and vibrant colors, the board book on its own would hold a young child's attention, but the unique snapping tabs make the book even more intriguing. Hoping for more in this format.

This sturdy little book was great fun when I read it with my 20-month-old granddaughter. Her eyes grew wide with each pull of the book’s cardboard tongues—flaps that snap back after tugging; part of illustrations of five diverse animals. It’s a simple but effective way to engage a young child in a book
