I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

Do hippo brush their teeth? No, of course not but they do let fish clean them. Something I didn't know but really enjoyed learning in this fun, cleverly illustrated children's picture book. I learned lots of little hygiene facts about animals and the reason they do some of these things is very interesting. The kids loved the pictures of the animals doing "human" things and I got a kick out of the pictures of them doing their normal behaviors. I definite reread!

Excellent book for the animal-loving kid who likes little facts presented in an easy and fun way. First of all, the pictures are fun and comical! I love how it relates things that we do, as humans, to animals, making a great connection for kids. This book covers several animals with a one sentence question, and a small paragraph answer, then moves onto the next animal. Great for sparking interest in an animal but not good if you are looking for more facts/information on one particular animal.

'Do Hippos Brush Their Teeth?' by Etta Kaner is such a fun twist on an animal book. Engaging cartoon like illustrations guide kids through the hygiene routines of various animals. A great book for young learners.

I have never considered or thought about animal hygiene until this book. There are so many disgustingly interesting facts and details in this book. Kids will love it for sure!

I love the silliness behind a real life concept. Getting kids to brush their teeth can be a chore, but with a fun story to go along with it perhaps it won’t be. Teaching the importance of exercise and so forth. Cute yet simple pictures that go with. Loved this one!

Thank you to NetGalley and OwlKids Books for my gifted copy of Do Hippos Brush Their Teeth? By Etta Kaner. I absolutely adored this book and loved the facts that were included. I learned so much from this book and I can’t wait to share it with my students. The information is delivered in a fun way that makes children guess the answers. Whether you guess correctly or not, the information will help students grow as scientists. I also did not know that this book is part of a series of other similar books and now I must purchase them all for my classroom!

Have curious little readers in your home? Try the newest book by Etta Kaner. It offers just the right balance of curiosity along with facts about each animal. By posing questions about animals that kids might find amusing, Kaner backs the questions up with a little known fact about the animals.

Perfect for transitional readers or a read aloud. This title comes out on March 15, 2024. Be sure to check out previous books in this series to add to your child's collection.

Thank to to Owlkids Books for my advanced reader copy.

My kids will love this colorful book in question/answer format! Each question about how an animal takes care of themselves is very silly, but it responds with a page of facts about a way that animal uses hygiene.
