This picture-sized board book takes young readers through the world of dental health, from the origins of teeth to their internal structure. Children will discover the reasons behind toothaches, and the uniqueness of growing only two sets of teeth, and the importance of early dental care. It is written by a Czech, which might account for the section on a visit to the dentist where it says that if a tooth needs drilling, ‘the dentist will protect it with a special spray so that you will hardly feel anything.’ Of course, in Australia, the dentist gives an injection.
Four pages are devoted to going to
the dentist’s, including a labelled picture of the dentist’s chair in the consulting
room. The last page shows ten faces with the teeth of different animals, such
as a bat, beaver, elephant, and shark. There is really nothing more to be said
of teeth than what is said in his book.
The illustrations are brightly coloured and presented
with break-outs and labelled pictures.
