My stepdaughter is about ready to start losing some of her baby teeth, so she really enjoyed this book.
If you are looking for a book that teaches your child how to take care of their teeth then you will have to look elsewhere. This book is more of a silly and (very) basic take on what teeth you get during your life and who all have or don't have teeth.

Summary: This book is about how everyone has teeth, how they come in handy, and how important it is to take care of them in a funny and rhyming way.
Connections: I do not remember reading this specific book as a child but always loved Dr. Seuss' rhyming books!
How you would use it: I would use this when a student loses a tooth in the classroom as a teaching moment about how many teeth they have, how to take care of them, who all has them etc. through a read aloud.
Subject heading:
Teeth--Fiction.
Stories in rhyme.

Likely to raise questions. Shows variety of people and animals that have teeth, and states that we need them to eat and to talk. Clams, snail, ducks, ... they don't have teeth. How do they eat?

This book is a good way to teach children about hygiene and why it is important to keep your teeth clean, teachers can read this book to introduce the subject of hygiene in the class. Students learn about who has teeth in a fun way Dr. Seuss books are always fun for children with the rhymes and silly animals, and wonderful and colorful illustrations.

I’ve always wanted to read book with a trapeze artist inside! Do you know it is important to have two sets of teeth? The Tooth Book story will explain why!

Synopsis: "A classic work by Dr. Seuss writing as Theo. LeSieg, with new illustrations by Joe Mathieu, about who has teeth, who doesn't, and how to keep the ones you have!"

My Review: It looks like a Dr. Seuss book but it doesn't feel or sound like a Dr. Seuss book. For some reason this didn't have the same flow as I am used to from his books. It didn't capture Munchkin's attention like they usually do either (he actually picked up another book to pretend to read instead). I was really looking forward to this book since we loved the Nose Book and Eye book so much.

This is also a beginner readers book. The book uses rhyming throughout the story. This makes the book easier for younger children to understand and read by themselves. It promotes reading in a happy light rather than scaring kids a way from reading. The book also promotes good dental hygiene saying you shouldn't chew like a beaver or eat a tone of candy because you only get 2 sets fo teeth and after that you won't have any left. The book also explores nature as the young boy looks around nature to see what other animals have teeth and which don't. This can be informing to young children who have not yet gone to school. The book is a quick read and a fun one at that. It is fun to read to yourself or to others. The illustrations also provide the story with a visually appealing aspect. The colors used are simple and provide for very bright illustrations. This book was a staple growing up and should continue to be in generations to come.

Clever rhymes and art present good information about teeth. Easy to read with a few challenges.

Silly. Not Dr. Seuss' best, but fun. My family told me that in their book, the last sentence says 'bite some carrot sticks instead!' whereas THIS one says 'bite someone else instead!' Yikes! I blacked that out and wrote in 'carrot sticks' :)

And I learned that when Dr. Seuss wrote the book but did not do the illustrations, he wrote under the name Theo LeSieg, using his real last name written backward.

It's great book!

Te deja con un buen sabor de boca, ayuda mucho cuando estas aprendiendo ingles,adquieres mas vocabulario, y es muy entretenido.

I had never read this book before, and I didn't know that Dr. Seuss wrote under the name of Theo LeSieg; I will definitely be looking for more books under that pseudonym.

This book explores the world of teeth.

Seuss explains why teeth are so important to both humans and animals.

He shows the many ways teeth can be lost or damaged. He also has creatures, like a clam, describe in detail, why not having teeth can be a real problem.

I love the bright and zany illustrations and know I will be reading this book many more times.

The Tooth Book is all about teeth, where you find them and where you grow them. The book attempts to take on a Dr. Seuss element but isn't able to reach it. The book would good for younger children to teach about teeth or an early reading book. The illustrations aren't as nice as other books and the whole book is kind of odd. I personally, won't use this book in my classroom.
