This story is about friends who want to play but must brush their teeth first. It could be incorporated in science by talking about why they brush their teeth, and how crocodiles have lots of teeth.

What an adorable tale! Clarabella is a young crocodile who misses snack, playtime, and fun because she has to spend so much time brushing her mouthful of teeth. Her friends rescue her from her dilemma, though. Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers just learning about sharing, and playing with others.

Zoey loved this book, about a crocodile with so many teeth she spends all day brushing them, missing out on play time and snacks with her friends. At the end of the day, her friends give her a 'crocodile sized' toothbrush, problem solved. Cute story.

Such a cute book. It talks about an alligator that has so many teeth that she brushes all day and can't play with her friends. Her friends end up getting her a HUGE toothbrush and now she doesn't have to worry about brushing all her teeth all day, she can go play. Too cute!

My daughter loves this book and it has wound up in our daily rotation. The illustrations are great and the story cute. It's a little short, but in the world of picture books, the author would have had to stretch out Clarabella's dental woes for 8 more pages.

This was a cute story about a poor crocodile with too many teeth. The kids adored the story and wanted me to repeat the story.

This is a delightful book that shows how friends can be so helpful. And it is great to use when talking about dental hygiene.
