What If You Had Animal Scales!?: Or Other Animal Coats?
by Sandra Markle (Author) Howard McWilliam (Illustrator)
What if you woke up one morning and discovered your body was covered in an animal's scales, feathers, or fur instead of your own skin? How would that change your life? What If You Had Animal Scales!? is the next imaginative book in Sandra Markle's popular What If You Had series.
If you had a chinchilla's fur, you'd never need to worry about bug spray. If you had a hammerhead shark's scales, you'd be the fastest swimmer on the team! And if you had a honeybee's coat, you'd always bring home the biggest haul on Halloween.
Discover what your life would be like if you had these special coats -- and find out why your skin is just right for you!
