Customer Reviews

Five year old loved it

My five year old is so excited about losing her teeth and getting in her "grown up teeth" that I thought she'd enjoy this little book. She definitely did and wanted to read it to everyone! Her kindergarten class surely enjoyed it.

Very educational

I got this book for my 5 year old daugter to prepare her for the toothfairy and to show her what it is all about with teeth. This is well written and illustrated, even a 3 year old would get a great deal from this book, but a 5 or 6 year old would understand the more technical things like the picture of what a tooth looks like from the inside. It encourages good toothcare for kids and my daugter is beginning to read it by herself now. We can only recommend this book (the entire series is great!!)

How Many Teeth?

This book is an excellent educational tool. I am a public health dental hygienist and I use this book in grades K-2. The bright pictures and clever rhymes make it very entertaining for children. It is a great way to teach kids about their mouths and oral health!

Humours, rhymming, informative

When my 5 year old lost his first tooth, he was asking all sorts of questions: WHY did I lose a tooth, WHEN will I lose more....Thi sbook answers those questions. It has a chart which looks inside the gums to show a new tooth pushing out the old. The book alternates between a story line and a poem. At the end it gets funny with a boy not being able to sing the rhyme like the others because he lost 2 teeth and he "thounds funny".I let my son's reactions rate books: this is a 5.
