The Tooth-o-saurus by Nat Gibson is one of the most amazing kids’ picture books I’ve ever read. Illustrated by Dana Regan, it’s a great way to introduce youngsters to the dentist and set their minds at rest about what to expect. They’ll learn about all sorts of things, including X-rays, polishing, flossing, and everything else they need to know. This is a really fun, interactive story, and kids will learn how important it is to visit the dentist regularly. They’ll also learn how to make brushing their teeth fun, which will hopefully encourage them to do it without prompting – after all, no one wants a mouth full of dinosaurs! The final page is a visual overview of everything they have learned, and all the important equipment needed to banish the dinosaurs for good. A fabulous story, highly recommended reading for every child and not just at home; this is perfect for schools and kids’ reading groups, too.
