What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely positive and instructional, with no mention of negative consequences like cavities or dental visits. Its approach is secular and universally applicable.
Ideal Reader
A toddler, age 18 months to 3 years, who is either learning the tooth brushing routine for the first time or is actively resisting it. It's for the child in the midst of their independence phase who needs a positive, playful model rather than a lecture.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed, the book can be read cold. For maximum effect, a parent might have toothbrushes ready so they and their child can act out the brushing motions along with the characters in the book. The parent has just experienced another nightly wrestling match over the toothbrush. Their toddler runs away, cries, or refuses to open their mouth. The parent is looking for a way to reframe the entire experience from a power struggle into a fun, shared activity.
