"I know why I Brush My Teeth" is a informational book about teeth, their purpose and their structure in terms that children will understand. It is about a boy named Sam who asks his Mom many questions about teeth but there is also some laughter along with these questions. I really enjoyed this book when I was a child and I remember how awesome and colorful the pictures were. I really enjoy this story because it actually teaches the reader something useful but at the same time very fun. Another part that I like about this book is that the more difficult words are in bold font and this makes it easier to see what you are learning about. Overall, I really love this book and I will remember it forever.

This is a cute book that teaches children how to brush their teeth and why it is important. The book explains all about teeth and provides vocabulary, so children can become familiar with it. I would definitely use this book in my class to teach appropriate hygiene.

This is a book about the importance of brushing your teeth. The message is good and competently delivered. The illustrations did not excite me, and a little humor would have made this book a bit more palatable. (See what I did there?) ;)

[Kelsey Yates]

Lots of good information given in an absorbable format. Covers the composition of our teeth, brushing technique and types of teeth. Thankfully, no tooth fairy was mentioned.
