Open Wide: Tooth School Inside
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.
Customer Review: Laurie Keller ROCKS!
Just as with all of her books and illustrations, Laurie Keller’s
Open Wide entertains on many levels! The pictures make you want to climb into
the book, and be a part of the action. The teeth (characters) all have personality and the story follows them through a school day at Tooth School. It teaches about dental care, but more than that…it’s funny! My kids love all of Mrs. Keller’s works…including Stinky Thinking, The Scrambled States of America series, and all of the rest! Don’t be surprised if you see this book in your dentist/orthodontist waiting room on your next visit!
Customer Review: Fun and Educational
Little bit silly but loads of fun. Actually learn a few things about teeth in a fun way. 3 out of my 4 kids recommend it!
