Have you read this to your child?! "The Tooth Book" by Theo LeSieg (better known as Dr. Seuss)is cute and fun... and a little educational as well. It answers the question "Who has teeth?" AND talks a bit about the importance of teeth for chewing, smiling, and speaking. The book also points out a few toothless creatures. Finally it touches on the importance of taking care of your teeth... 'cause you only get two sets don't you know! It does all this in the fun way that Dr. Seuss is known for with rhymes, repetition, and fun illustrations! :)

So, what gets me is the last lines of the book... "And never bite your dentist . . . your teeth's best friend. Bite someone else instead." WHAT?! I'm all for this book, The Boy really enjoys it and is so into LEARNING about anything and everything these days (including teeth). AND it's a book that will help him to start learning to recognize such words as teeth and tooth. I just don't like the last line... I do not want THAT to be the last thing The Boy remembers. I don't want him to go bite anyone! :) Yes, I know I can just skip this line when I'm reading it, but why even put it there? I usually LOVE Dr. Seuss, but I'm a little disappointed with this. Just wanted to rant a little...
