Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Very short. Words are meant to be sung (we don't). Probably best for an infant, not a toddler. My daughter is 3 and likes this book but it's not very informative for her. I'd like to see a book about why it's important to brush to avoid cavities. I'm going to keep looking. My daughter is the type to flip out over having her teeth brushed. A full on crazy tantrum complete with screaming and flailing arms and legs. The way we fixed this is to allow her to brush her teeth, and then mom or dad 'checks' to see if she missed some spots. Then we say, "oops you missed a piece of food back here, lemme get that for you..." and then we brush. We compliment her on how well she does and give her things to practice "next time". We don't sing the song to the tune in the book. We just read it like a poem. This helps remind my daughter that brushing is important, but one of the best things we have found is to show her pictures or videos of people brushing. We let her see us brush too. She has a video called Bedtime for Frances where a little badger brushes her teeth before bed and she sings a tooth brushing song. My daughter sings this to herself. If you can find a picture or video of your child's favorite character brushing their teeth it might just help! We also have our own silly family song we made up. It's to the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat. You might like to try it too. It goes like this: Brush, brush, brush your teeth. Brush them every day. If you do not brush your teeth, they will rot away. Brush, brush, brush your teeth, keep them nice and clean. If you do not brush your teeth, they'll turn brown and green. Brush, brush, brush your teeth. Keep them pearly white. If you do not brush your teeth, your breath will not smell nice. Maybe that will help someone lol. It helps us!
