George & Joe (Dragon) have lots of fun together.
Joe eats all day long & doesn’t like brushing his teeth at bedtime.
George 1 night decided to try something different.
Make brushing your teeth fun for Joe. He is very competitive.
Will Joe start brushing his teeth.

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, great colored pictures & proper font & writing style. A very well written children’s educational story book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s educational movie, an class PP presentation, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

Thank you for the free author; eBookStage; Amazon Digital Services LLC.; book

George and Joe are best friends. They do everything together. Well, almost everything. George would really like Joe to practice better hygiene. Joe has terrible dragon breath. Of course, Joe IS an actual dragon so dragon breath comes naturally. Joe has a horrible, terrible case of dragon breath. Unfortunately, George hasn't been able to convince Joe to brush his teeth. Joe has the worst case of yuck mouth. When George confronts Joe about his dragon breath, Joe's feelings are hurt. Being a natural born dragon, Joe doesn't understand the importance of clean teeth. He hates brushing! After a green slime covers Joe's enormous choppers, Joe is too embarrassed to hang out with George and his friends. Joe's dragon breath is interfering with daily life and all the fun that comes with it. George comes up with a plan. George decides to turn teeth cleaning into a game. Joe loves games and he likes to win. Will the plan work?

Told in rhyming verse, this cute story will help children understand the necessity of routine brushing. No one wants to have dragon breath...not even a dragon.

A Good Read For Teaching Good Habits

The illustrations held the attention of my 6 month old grandson even though the topic was a little over his head. Making it into a game was not only a clever way to encourage tooth brushing, it also gave a lesson in caring about not hurting another's feelings.

Charming story about a Dragon named Joe who is let to a small boy named George. They have become best friends playing everything you can imagine together having fun & always getting along.Except for one thing when they eat Dragon Now does Not like to brush his teeth. This causes problems for Little boy George, his room begins to smell & Dragon Joe's teeth begin to turn green..
~~ This goes on to be a short marvelous to-the-point story about brushing your teeth in a fun cute way.~~~
I highly recommend this book for any one needing to Get-the-point-across :-) or teach anyone lessons
If teeth brushing importance. If you notice I don't leave out adults because so we are a melting pot and
so many people do not have the advantage of Country does of Good Health & Hygeinge. Teeth are not
always taught to everyone :-( This might be something very useful in many places.

Toddlers are tough

I'm a Nanny and Gamma to 3 grandsons right now. These are great books for introducing concepts to allow the little ones to explore both their emotions and daily life skills they may always see as enjoyable. Self control is a skill to be learned. This book uses a dragon to show the need and benefit of brushing your teeth. The artwork is very good. We all enjoyed it.

Brushing teeth is fun!

This nicely illustrated children's book is all about how brushing your teeth will make you smile more, make it clean, and no bad breath to boot! I find it a highly entertaining read about an important part of one's daily hygiene practices. By showing it in a fun, lyrical way it helps make such a routine not look as a task to skip by showing the positive effects brushing one's teeth can bring. I definitely recommend this book.

Fun and meaningful.

Loved it! Every dental room should buy a copy. Great, colourful illustrations. The font was clear and easy to read. Lovely humour in the message that is told in flowing rhyme--brush your teeth. A trustworthy short tale that was a pleasure to read. Highly recommended. This story was received as a free download in exchange for an honest review.

Great addition to any dentist's office!

Would fit in well in any dentist's office! My dad is a dentist. In his old practice I remember a big green t-rex that filled a similar role to Gordon's dragon. Teaching oral hygiene early on is extremely important, and can be difficult. Gordon's book helps make that process fun.

A cute dragon story about brushing teeth

Dragon's Breath is a cute story about a boy and his dragon with stinky breath. The dentist would approve and kids will get a kick out of the colorful pictures and fun story.

Great book

This was a fun book with engaging pictures. This book taught two valuable lessons: the importance of brushing your teeth and true friends help with problems even when the truth is hard on the friend that they are trying to help.

George has a pet dragon. Unfortunately, the pet dragon doesn't think it is important to brush his teeth. George has to find a way to get Joe to brush his teeth. I love Michael's books because they teach a lesson and they rhyme and this makes them interesting to children.

Great story

I have a child who doesn't like getting ready for bed and this made him want to race with his sibling like George and Joe. Great story to get those less enthusiastic kids wanting to get ready for bed!
