About This Book

Reach for this book when your household needs a healthy dose of laughter or when a child is feeling self-conscious about dental changes like losing a tooth. Grandpa's Teeth is a riotous mystery centered on a grandfather who wakes up to find his dentures have been stolen, sparking a town-wide investigation. Beyond the slapstick humor, the story touches on themes of family loyalty and the way small communities rally together during a crisis, however absurd it may be. It is perfectly suited for children aged 4 to 8 who appreciate slightly irreverent, high-energy storytelling. Parents will find it a great tool for diffusing tension around dental hygiene or aging, turning a potentially sensitive topic into a shared comedic experience.

What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

A 'theft' is investigated by police, but it is treated as a joke rather than a crime.

Sensitive Topics

The book is entirely secular and lighthearted. While it touches on aging and the loss of physical attributes (teeth), it does so through a lens of extreme caricature and humor rather than tragedy. There are no heavy themes of death or illness.
