I also love examples of creative nonfiction!

The kids loved it when I read it aloud.  We laughed and laughed!  We were also awed by the photographs of the animals.  There are facts about the various kinds of teeth in the animal kingdom and how they work with the kind of food each animal eats.  I love examples of creative nonfiction, and this one is very creative! Sandra Markle asked that we pay this book forward by raffling it off.  Here is the lucky winner:
