Description
A playful and informative book for children about oral hygiene. For ages 4 and up. Now in a simplified and fun pocket-sized edition.
“A book like this could go a long way in letting kids know what to expect before walking into the office for the first time. Kids get some dental tips on tooth care, and a heads-up that a dental visit usually comes with a goody bag. The goody bag usually contains a new toothbrush and toothpaste, but still, a goody bag. This is a nice addition to toddler bookshelves, especially community helper collections.” - Rosemary Kiladitis, Queensboro Hill Community Library "The perfect book for little ones who may be scared or unsure of what happens at the dentist. Not too much information and bright and fun illustrations make this the perfect pre-dentist read." - Tara Hutson, London Public Library "This cute book would be great to read to your child who is going to the dentist for the first time….This would help alleviate any anxiety a child may have about the dentist. It also reinforces the importance of brushing your teeth. The illustrations are bright and cheerful and make the dentist's office seem more approachable and less frightening. This is a great book to add to the public and family library.” - Carla Johnson-Hicks, educator
Liesbet Slegers (1975, Belgium) studied Graphics and Illustrations at the Saint-Lucas institute of Antwerp. She works as a fulltime graphic designer and illustrator. With her simple, recognizable style and vivid colours she knows how to attract the attention of every toddler. In her many books, Slegers frequently focuses on “the first experience of a toddler,” a time she characterized as “exciting but also very scary! I try to help them with my books,” she added, “and also try to give the parents or teacher some assistance!”
