Dental health may seem like a strange and unusual subject
for a children’s picture book. But this will be recognized as a surprising and worthwhile publication in the learning sphere.
The outstanding, Teeth: You Only Get Two
Sets, is designed for young readers and adults, to equip themselves with a complete understanding of their
mouth, and its internal structure and workings; something perhaps, that is seldom thought about.
With thick pages that don’t bend, the book is packed with detailed illustrations depicting the growth course in stages, of
the 32 permanent teeth (four of which are wisdom teeth), what we can expect and
when, beginning from birth.
What is needed for tooth care, from choosing the
proper toothbrush and how to use it, includes the right and wrong way to go
about protecting both sets.
Seriously important issues such as good and bad food
and drink for your teeth, keeping up with dental appointments, (we get a
close-up of the consulting room), maintenance, rewards for diligent care, and the
correct way to remove a wobbly tooth, all come in bold colour images.
I loved this book and haven’t come across another
one like it, considering its invaluable worth for children.
This non-fiction book is Dentist approved. Parents
and carers will rejoice at its content which is set out in such a way, that
learning becomes a form of entertainment.
Highly recommended, this excellent publication
should be in every school and public library and on shelves at home.
