normally on board for all things Seuss, but this one was rather off, I appreciate the showing of the variety of teeth and the variety of those who have them all kinds of animals but there was a weird shaming thing going on for animals who don't have teeth, like they're lesser or something.
And several times sense and facts were sacrificed to the rhyme, like the idea that creatures without teeth can't eat jam, Teeth are in no way required for jam, Don't tell kids lies.
And the rhyme scheme was out of whack several times, Not up to your usual standard, Seuss, And that redhaired uncle is super creepy, illustrator Mathieu, Chew, chomp and smile with Dr, Seuss with this hilarious book all about teethnow in a new book perfect for the littlest of readers!
A classic work by Dr.
Seuss writing as Theo, LeSieg, with new illustrations by Joe Mathieu, about who has teeth, who doesn't, and how to keep the ones you have! Learn about this very important body part that lets us talk, eat, and more in this useful guide! From a lion's mouth to a clam's, explore all the things teeth can do, how they grow, and how to keep them in tip top shape!
Dr.
Seuss's rhymes will delight young readers and help them discover the world around them, starting with their own bodies!
sitelinkDr.
Seuss who was known as Theodor Geisel when he wasn't writing or drawing wrote and illustratedbooks for children and their lucky parents.
But sometimes Dr. Seuss liked to write books and have someone else draw the pictures, For those books he used the pen name Theo, LeSieg which is Geisel spelled backward!,
sitelinkJon Mathieu has drawn the pictures for many children's booksin fact, The Tooth Book is histh book! He was "wildly excited" to work on a book by Dr.
Seuss, calling him "one of the real geniuses of our field, " Mr. Mathieu lives in Brooklyn, Connecticut, where he likes to ride bicycles, cook and play ragtime music on the piano, I really, really REALLY dislike the illustrations in this book, So much so that I wish we didn't own it, My son wants me to "read" it Flip the pages while he looks, but isn't patient enough with this particular book to actually let me read more than a few words at a time before flip, flip flip but even he seems disenchanted with the book, except for the front and back inside cover images which have shadows of various animals and their teeth.
I have no idea why he wants me to read it every few nights except for that he wants to see the front and back inside cover.
Ugh this book. I'll be so glad when he grows out of it, The people kind of disgust me with their bulbous, gross, distorted, ugly looking features, Ew.
update:
Well, . . this thing has grown on me, We still have it and now my son is, We still read it regularly and the gd book has grown on me, I find myself a little fond of the sad clam without teeth or the forlorn trombone player, Don't get me started on Simon Sneeth who I need to adopt and get some dentures yo, It just goes to show that even if I dislike the book, if my son makes me read it enough I'll find something to enjoy lol.
Along with sitelink The Ear Book, sitelink The Foot Book, and from what I guess, sitelink The Eye Book, this is just a book of rhymes about teeth.
It touches on the purpose of teeth eating, speech, and smiling for pictures, haha, and the dos and don'ts for maintenance which is kind of cool, if you ask me.
Mymonth old daughter is OBSESSED with these books, This was fine. The rhymes are okay. The best part was teaching about how you have two sets of teeth, It's great book!
Te deja con un buen sabor de boca, ayuda mucho cuando estas aprendiendo ingles,adquieres mas vocabulario, y es muy entretenido.
Not once does it mention brushing one's teeth or flossing, . . And the art is creepy, This is currently Jill's favorite book, My sister gave it to her less than two weeks ago, and Jill already walks around the house reciting it at random moments.
I wish he used a different word than "dumb" near the end, but it honestly is dumb to break your teeth untying knots and removing bottle tops, so I guess it's not that bad.
I just don't want Jill to start calling people dumb, She hasn't yet though! And the book does have some really good information about teeth, Mostly though, Jill just thinks it is hilarious, Although she also
currently thinks that jellyfish are called trombones, She loves that page! Ive always wanted to read book with a trapeze artist inside! Do you know it is important to have two sets of teeth The Tooth Book story will explain why! A wonderbful book that encourages the little ones to take care of their teeth! Likely to raise questions.
Shows variety of people and animals that have teeth, and states that we need them to eat and to talk, Clams, snail, ducks, they don't have teeth. How do they eat This book is about teeth, It shares information about various teeth and who and what has teeth, I like the rhymes and the repetition as they can be good in helping children to stay focused and also in enjoying the story.
There are some interesting words in this story which can be used to improve children's vocabulary, For example, broadcaster, clam, roast, etc,
The book is very funny and can be used to teach children about rhymes, Great book to use comfort or calm a child on his or her dentist visit or simply to teach children about their teeth.
The story also teaches children about how to use and care for their teeth, The illustrations are wonderful and childrenfriendly, I thought I had read all the Dr, Seuss books and I find out there are many left to read for me so I am trying to get them, This is one I missed from, The art was redone in, I wonder why I never saw this as a child Dr, Seuss was huge back then,
I loved the artwork and Dr, Seuss has such a simple way with words, It is wonderful to read another book by him even if this is one for young children, My nephew got my niece wanting to read this book so they both read it and really enjoyed it, Dr. Seuss is magic
I like the parts showing animals with no teeth like the snail, Cute little book A book about teeth written by Dr, Suess. The illustrations, however, are done by someone else and they lack his charm, Despite this, it is a fun book that teaches children the purpose of teeth and the importance of taking care of them.
Besides Seuss's wonderful off the wall humor, we enjoy the illustrations as well, I dont like kids books I just read all of my books from when I was little, sorry for not long review this book just doesnt need it,
