Cavities vs. Toothpaste

by Didi Dragon, Hannah Robinett (Illustrator)

Let's face it-most kids don't enjoy brushing their teeth and sometimes even skip it! But that's only because they don't know the full story...
Cavities vs. Toothpaste is the hilarious sequel to the bestselling Germs vs. Soap, only this time the secret world of bacteria is revealed! Bacteria (the baaad kind) have the biggest craving for anything that has sugar in it! That's why they like hanging out on teeth. The only problem? Eating too much sugar makes them have to go to the bathroom really aka lactic acid, or as bacteria would say, "sugapoo". All that sugapoo forms holes in your teeth, called cavities. Ouch! But there is a way to stop toothpaste! So who will win? You decide.
With playful illustrations, educational graphics, and laugh-out-loud text, this book will get kids to brush their teeth properly all while having fun!

About the author

Sorry to disappoint, but Didi Dragon is not actually a dragon. She has one dragon-like tendency, though, which is she can only sleep in cold, dark rooms, kinda like a cave. Otherwise she’s rather jumpy with sudden noises, and hiccups if her tacos are too spicy. If she could have a super power, it would be to fly, of course. She likes to roller skate, dance while cleaning, and play futbol. She’s not very good at those things, but it sure looks like she has fun.

Oh yeah, she’s currently writing Cavities vs. Toothpaste.

Reviews

An exciting sequel to the hilarious Germs vs. Soap, Cavities vs. Toothpaste follows the story of some valiant bacteria as they work hard to create holes in a child's teeth. They party, they celebrate holidays, and, most importantly, they discourage the child from brushing! But when the child steps up to the sink... is it all over for these bad bacteria?

I'll definitely be bringing this book along to my next dentist appointment :)

I borrowed Cavities vs. Toothpaste: A Silly Hygiene Book about Brushing Teeth! ~ Hilarious Hygiene Battle 2 from the Kindle Unlimited Program on Amazon.

Cute illustration to follow the text to encourage kids to brush their teeth twice a day. It also has steps to brush for two minutes.

I think that this book got through to my kids the importance of brushing your teeth more then I have... 🙄 They said "oh! That's why you have us brush our teeth!" 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️
