Some interesting thoughts on why I should brush my teeth, some points I believe are lacking cited research... I will continue to brush... For now

This book explains why brushing your teeth is important for keeping them clean and healthy. It answers questions like what happens if you don't brush your teeth and how it helps. The simple language and colorful pictures makes it easy for young children to understand the importance of dental hygiene. I liked this book because it's clear for kids. it teaches an important lesson about taking care of your teeth. I would use this in my classroom, as a read aloud with a class discussion about the important of brushing your teeth.

I loved the lift the flaps. Importantly, the information was accurate and fun for kids (eg why animals don't need to brush their teeth).

Very simple and informative book for children. I would include this in my library because you never know how much students are learning hygiene at home.

Ages 4 and up. A fun, lift-the-flap book about the importance of dental hygiene set in an East Asian family.
