The Tooth Book by Dr. Seuss is a beginner reader book. This book informs kids what teeth are all about from how many sets you have, what they are used for and how to take good care of them. Dr. Seuss uses dramatic colorful pictures to make better sense to the young children listening the story. This book can be used in a preschool, kinder and first grade to teach them about the importance of teeth and their function before they loose any teeth.

This is currently Jill's favorite book. My sister gave it to her less than two weeks ago, and Jill already walks around the house reciting it at random moments. I wish he used a different word than "dumb" near the end, but it honestly is dumb to break your teeth untying knots and removing bottle tops, so I guess it's not that bad. I just don't want Jill to start calling people dumb. She hasn't yet though! And the book does have some really good information about teeth. Mostly though, Jill just thinks it is hilarious. (Although she also currently thinks that jellyfish are called trombones. She loves that page!)

This book is about teeth. It shares information about various teeth and who and what has teeth. I like the rhymes and the repetition as they can be good in helping children to stay focused and also in enjoying the story. There are some interesting words in this story which can be used to improve children's vocabulary. For example, broadcaster, clam, roast, etc.
The book is very funny and can be used to teach children about rhymes. Great book to use comfort or calm a child on his or her dentist visit or simply to teach children about their teeth.The story also teaches children about how to use and care for their teeth. The illustrations are wonderful and children-friendly.

This is a great book to read to kids that may be going to the dentist for the first time. It shows how many have teeth and what they can be used for. It also shows many things we should not do with them. Teaching kids about the uses of teeth and how it is important to go to the dentist is very important. Thumbs up for this wonderful teaching book.

I used this silly Dr. Seuss book to end a dental-care themed bilingual (Spanish/English) story time program I did in November 2012. Besides The Tooth Book, I read Cocodrilo va al Dentista and Molly at the Dentist, and I also retold The Bear's Toothache in Spanish for the program. Both Cocodrilo and Molly are more "informative" about taking care of one's teeth and visiting the dentist, but The Tooth Book adds a bit of fun.

I think the Tooth Book goes nicely with the Foot Book, The Ear Book, etc. I think there is something inherently more serious about Teeth than ears, feet or hands, however, so as the book deals with teeth falling out & getting broken... well, I guess it's just not my favorite thing to read.

It might not be the easiest to read out loud, or have the polished cadence of some of the best Dr. Seuss books, but my boys really enjoy it. I think it also helps them learn something of value, and therefore is good as a teaching tool as well.

I read The Tooth Book.It was about a boy looking at everyone's teeth.First he saw an uncle with teeth.He also saw a policeman,a zebra,unicycle riders,camels and their drivers and a girl named Ruthie.He saw many other things with teeth too.He saw some animals that don't have teeth like ducks, snails,clams,jellyfish and a chicken.He saw a person pulling his teeth out, a person biting her teeth off and another person had so many fillings because he ate too many sweets.At the end,their was lots of people and animals smiling with their teeth.My favorite one was the cat because it looked like it had lipstick on.

another one of those body parts books by dr. seuss. I guess its main goal is to make kids feel better about losing their baby teeth. also showing children what creatures have teeth and those who don't. also a lot of useful advices for kids to take care of their teeth

"Teeth! you find them everywhere! on mountaintops and in the air! and if you care to poke around, you'll even find them underground."

Great little rhymes about taking care of your teeth. Perfect for primary grades. Giving to my daughter-in-law for her classroom.

In this wonderful Dr. Seuss classic, read about the importance of teeth. Children will learn who does and doesn’t have teeth. They will learn that teeth are used for smiling, eating food, and speaking. Children will also learn that they only get two sets of teeth, so they need to be taken care of.

A great book to share with children who are losing their baby teeth and gaining their "grown-up" teeth. However, I expected to see more about the importance of teeth brushing.

I thought I had read all the Dr. Seuss books and I find out there are many left to read for me so I am trying to get them. This is one I missed from 1981. The art was redone in 2000. I wonder why I never saw this as a child? Dr. Seuss was huge back then.

I loved the artwork and Dr. Seuss has such a simple way with words. It is wonderful to read another book by him even if this is one for young children. My nephew got my niece wanting to read this book so they both read it and really enjoyed it. Dr. Seuss is magic

I like the parts showing animals with no teeth like the snail.

This book is very unusual, kid friendly, and easy to read. With the options of funny, spooky, mystery, adventure, fiction, legend, myth, or non-fiction, I'd definitely choose funny mostly because of what it's about, TEETH! I know your not supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but you can tell it's pretty funny by taking a glimpse at the front cover.

GREAT FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 8.
