From the author …
I always felt my pediatric patients were my best chance at making a real impact on dental health–an opportunity to develop healthy habits that could last a lifetime. I have been a dental hygienist for over 30 years and have always particularly enjoyed working with children. They are the most fun and the most receptive. I have many patients whose teeth I have cleaned since age three. Some are now adults with kids of their own who have asked what exactly I did to get them to brush and to get the routine to stick. When enough people had asked about this, I was inspired to put my ideas to pen. Statistics show that 50% of the children have cavities even before they reach second grade. My goal is to make tooth brushing fun and empower children to prevent tooth decay. Ironically, I met Sudi Memarzadeh, a talented illustrator, at a bookstore. She was what really set everything into motion by giving life to the words I had written.

My Thoughts …

This book is perfect for preschoolers and early readers. The text is simple and repeats through the book which helps with the children understanding that they need to brush their teeth. The graphics in this book are full of color and the images really help bring everything to a graphic level for the kids. My kids love brushing their teeth so I think this book is only adding to the love which I am sure would please Linda to no end!
You can buy this on Amazon right now for $11.95!
