Open Wide - Tooth School Inside by Laurie Keller
From the author/illustrator of The Scrambled States of America, here
is a fun-filled introduction to teeth.
"Before the principal's announcements, will you all please stand
and recite our pledge: 'I pledge allegiance to this mouth and to the
dentist who takes care of us. And to the gums on which we stand, strong
and healthy, with toothbrushes and toothpaste for all.'"
It's time for tooth school and Dr. Flossman is excited to meet the incoming
class of 32--eight incisors, four canines, eight premolars, and twelve
molars, including the four wisdom teeth. There's just so much to learn--from
brushing and flossing to dentin and pulp to every student's nightmare:
tooth decay!
Best read with a toothbrush in hand, this hilarious book is full of interesting
facts (for instance, George Washington's teeth were not made of wood,
despite popular belief) and a classroom full of quirky characters. Young
readers will laugh their way to a better appreciation for those pearly
whites that beckon them to brush. And from there it's just a short hop
to flossing.
