The Tooth Book (Bright & Early Board Books(TM)) (1981 original; edició 2003)

A cute rhyming book about teeth and their importance. ( )

A classic work by Dr. Seuss writing as Theo. LeSieg, with new illustrations by Joe Mathieu, about who has teeth, who doesn't, and how to keep the ones you have! -- GoodReads

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The many reasons were because of the plot, illustrations, and the interesting characters. First, The plot/main idea is all about learning the basics of teeth for kids. A young boy asks his father, "Who has teeth?" and his question is answered by many people and creatures. This is a great beginners informational book for young children. The book explains the do's and dont's with a fun, humor aspect. "Don't gobble junk like Billy Billings. They say his teeth have fifty fillings!". Secondly, the illustrations were very lively and colorful. They added the true pop of color to animate the story for kids. The background pages were colored anywhere from bright yellow to bright pink. Lastly, the characters in the story ranged from a car salesmen to a hungry lion. There was a fine balance between people and creatures to fulfill fantasy for children. "Without teeth we can't play trombones," says a jellyfish named Jimbo Jones." ( )

THE TOOTH BOOK is a predictable book, as it says in the title, it is a book about teeth. This is a story of a boy who learns all about teeth, who has them, and who does not. He travels high and low, east and west, in the sky and in the ground, just to see who has teeth. Nearer to the end, he learns that he loses his teeth, and gets a whole new set of them to fill his mouth. The illustrations in this book are wonderful because of the exaggeration of teeth, and what they are used for. The artist drew the teeth in larger proportions to make sure the young readers can see them, and relate to the characters in the story. This would be a good book for students in grades one through three because that is when most students lose a lot of their teeth, and maybe they don't know why. ( )

This book doesn’t have the same feel as other Dr. Seuss book have. The flow is a lot different. But this book explains a lot about teeth and why they are important. It even explains the teeth in animals. It makes children want to brush their teeth.
