Teeth! Our teeth rank fairly high if any body part is taken for granted. But should they? After all, unlike crocodiles and sharks – we
only get two sets.
Written as a ‘family friendly’ book aimed at young readers of the
‘wobbly tooth’ age (around 5 to 9 years), Teeth: You Only Get Two Sets
is full of toothy facts and tips to help us understand why teeth are so
important and how to take care of them.
With large, bold illustrations, clear headings and pockets of
information in child-friendly text, readers can whet their appetites
selectively with information that intrigues them, or munch away at the text
from start to finish. Whatever way you choose to engage, you’ll be able to
digest information about the structure of a tooth, how teeth develop and grow,
and the things we need for tooth care.
Everything within the pages is information our dentists, teachers and
parents tell us – but presented in a much more palatable form that really helps
the message take root and sink in.
Plus, there’s a fun page at the end where you can imagine what it would
be like to have hippopotamus teeth, the teeth of a shark, or even the teeth
(tooth?) of a narwhal.
Approved by the dental profession, Teeth: You Only Get Two Sets
is a must-read for parents and their young children who are coming up to the
wobbly tooth stage. (There’s even a section on how to get rid of those wobbly
teeth!)
