My First Book of Brushing Teeth

Content

This board book with a movable toothbrush on the cover has lots of doors to open, teaching children step by step how to care for their teeth. Like every evening, Jonas is supposed to brush his teeth. But he doesn't want to, because brushing his teeth is boring! His sister Jasmine tells him about the tooth monsters that live in his mouth and want to destroy his teeth. Oh, dear - Jonas hadn't known about that! Luckily, Jasmine knows lots of tricks to get rid of the tooth monsters quickly. Jonas learns not only why it’s important to brush your teeth, but also how to take good care of them. After his next visit to the dentist he is even given an hourglass so that he knows exactly how long he needs to brush. Now Jonas eagerly goes on a "monster hunt" with his toothbrush every evening.
