Quicker than a slingshot, That's the tongue a frog's got

Inspired by having a butterfly "kiss" her finger with its tongue, the author decided to investigate animal tongues and their various uses.

The alligator snapping turtle uses its tongue to lure a meal, the cat to clean itself, the dog to cool itself, the honeybee to build its home. These are but a few of the creatures and their tongues that are explored in this younger age nature book, which will help show children the wonder of animal versatility.

Each animal and a close-up of its tongue are shown in three-color illustrations which compliment the prose text and fanciful verse.
