PreS-Gr 3–Who has the mightiest bite? That’s the question set forth in this funny comparative book. It starts with a girl declaring she has the mightiest bite because she has 20 teeth. She is quickly corrected by a rabbit munching a wide variety of things and then a dog whose bite can pull hard, and it escalates from there, each animal explaining why their bite is the mightiest. Readers will love the funny surprise ending. The artwork is bright and energetic, a perfect match for the comical text. There are compelling details in the pictures, including a crab who questions its place in the book. An excellent read-aloud and the comparison of the animals will find a wide audience, particularly with those readers who love the “Who Would Win?” books.
VERDICT This is an interesting and humorous book with vivid colors and interesting pictures. A great choice for any library.
