A little girl has a loose tooth and she is hoping falls out soon because she needs the money from the tooth fairy so she can buy her dad a birthday present. I love that is rhymes and that it mixes English and Spanish together is a way that you can figure out what the Spanish words mean even if you don’t know Spanish.
Mabel the Tooth Fairy used to be just a plain old regular fairy (who also didn’t brush or floss her teeth).
All of her teeth fell out so she hatches a plan to get some teeth…she starts collecting the teeth that children have lost. This plan doesn’t work for her though because all of the teeth are the wrong shape and size. So she decides to take a vacation where she meets up with a dentist who is also on vacation. They work together and come up with a plan to solve Mabel’s problem.
The Tooth Fairy, and her sidekick Wisdom Tooth, explain everything from shark teeth to baby teeth. They also explain why we big people need big teeth and why it’s important to brush.
A little girl learns more about how to take care of her own teeth after she discovers that her dog has a rotten tooth that needs to be taken out because she had been feeding him doggy treats and cookies.
Do you have a little biter in your house? (Don’t worry. It’s just a phase. Trust me on this one. We’ve been there, too.) This book is a great way to talk about what teeth are to be used for and also why they might feel like they need to bite. A gentle reminder to use your words and that teeth are for smiling. 🙂
This is such a fun book! Children use picture clues and riddles to guess whose teeth are in the picture.
“Which orange and black cat has huge, sharp teeth?”
“Which furry, brown animal has teeth that never stop growing?”
This book is written in both English and Spanish.
A fun and whimsical Seuss-styled romp about teeth, all the places you might find them, losing them and some basics on how to take care of them.
Emma’s lost tooth was picked up by the tooth fairy, but now Emma wants it back because her grandpa is visiting and she wants to show it to him. The tooth fairy, however, can’t seem to find the exact tooth that Emma lost and night after night brings her the wrong tooth…a hippo’s tooth, a porcupine’s tooth, a skunk’s tooth, an alligator tooth and an elephant’s tusk. Finally, the tooth fairy finds the right one and shortly thereafter Emma loses another tooth.
All of Clarabella’s friends get up in the morning, brush their teeth and then go off to play, but Clarabella is still busy brushing her teeth. By the time Clarabella gets all of her crocodile teeth brushed all of her friends are getting ready for bed and can’t play. Clarabella’s friends come up with a great idea though so she can get her teeth brushed AND have time to play.
My boys were so excited the day that these two fun and talented authors came to their school, I knew I wanted to review one of their books on MommaReads. I contacted them and they were gracious enough to send us not only the book A Pirate’s Quest, but also the video, The Riddle in a Bottle, that goes along with it.
The Riddle in a Bottle is a funny, witty and educational film that covers everything from currents, to the water cycle, to ocean and pond life. Your kids will not only love this movie, they will learn and laugh out loud at the cute and funny animal voices all while they are trying to solve a riddle.
The book, A Pirate’s Quest, is about a pirate who has lost his peg leg in a lake. He realizes that the same currents that took his leg could also help him find it, so he travels through lakes, streams and oceans vowing to never give up until he does find it. I would recommend watching the movie first since it does a great job of explaining how water moves on the earth and then reading the book. This movie and book are fantastic together. Two thumbs up!
