My daughter brought this book home from school today. She thought it was funny and even though she had read it all ready, wanted me to read it to her again.
It is a rhyming book about the bacteria that live in your mouth and how they want you to eat candy and not brush your teeth. That is about all it talks about.
It is a fun book with fun pictures. It is factual. The only problem I have with the book is it does not clearly say that the bacteria causes cavities, which are bad, and that flossing, brushing, etc. are a good way to keep teeth healthy.
If I was a dentist I would not put this book in my office.
As a parent who reads to my child I would say the book is ok, as long as you make sure they understand that tooth decay IS bad and how to prevent it.
