Great start, but needs more quality built in

My son (nearly 3) was resisting teeth brushing, so I decided to try this book. He loved the story and we were able to reference the characters in the book while brushing teeth. That seemed to help. The reason I didn't give it a better score was because of the poor quality of the moving items in the book. Most moving parts were difficult to move and the part on the last page simply would NOT move. Almost all pages are broken to some extent after 1 week of use. He still likes the book, but I'm a little dissapointed now.

A Hit WIth My 1 Year Old, BUT....

I used to work in a book store, and as far as I've seen this is by far the best teeth-brushing book on the market for wee littles. HOWEVER, I dislike the text and modify it. Surely you can have a book showing animals brushing their teeth without teaching them something untrue about science. I know I will get poo pooed by less sensitive parents, but why lie to your kid when you don't have to? I change each kind of an animal to an individual: ie, "Every lion brushes every tooth every day," becomes "Lion brushes..." Likewise, the repeated "Shouldn't you?" really grates on me. I skip it or say, "Can you?" I mean, which makes you more likely to do things, feelings of shame/obligation, or competance/being challenged?

All the moving parts work well in my copy. Several move in a way that are very difficult for little hands. One of the toothbrushes got ripped out when I let the baby hold the book for a moment by herself. I don't see this as a problem, as long as you categorize this as an activity requiring adult assistance. You can let your little one floss the shark's teeth and manipulate the moving parts on a couple of other "easier" pages as young as 1 year.

I would recommend this!

My little patients love this book.

It could be a bit sturdier, but at least I can say that my last two copies were loved to death.

Fun Book

We didn't have a problem so much with brushing teeth as we did technique, brushing front, back, etc. This book has each animal brushing a different part of their mouth with flossing. Great for teaching about brushing teeth.

Difficult to use

My daughter actually enjoys brushing her teeth more since we started reading this book. The problem is that the pull tabs for "brushing" the animals teeth are all set up for a right-handed person and my left-handed daughter has difficulty using them. Also, the interactive portions of this book are very stiff and difficult to maneuver.
