Brush Your Teeth Please Pop-Up Review
Format: Pop-Ups Dimensions (inches): 6 x 7 1/2 User Submitted Brush Your Teeth Please Pop-Up ReviewsJuly 9, 2008 A Hit WIth My 1 Year Old, BUT.... I used to work in a book store, and as far as I've seen this is by far the best teeth-brushing book on the market for wee littles. HOWEVER, I dislike the text and modify it. Surely you can have a book showing animals brushing their teeth without teaching them something untrue about science. I know I will get poo pooed by less sensitive parents, but why lie to your kid when you don't have to? I change each kind of an animal to an individual: ie, "Every lion brushes every tooth every day," becomes "Lion brushes..." Likewise, the repeated "Shouldn't you?" really grates on me. I skip it or say, "Can you?" I mean, which makes you more likely to do things, feelings of shame/obligation, or competance/being challenged? All the moving parts work well in my copy. Several move in a way that are very difficult for little hands. One of the toothbrushes got ripped out when I let the baby hold the book for a moment by herself. I don't see this as a problem, as long as you categorize this as an activity requiring adult assistance. You can let your little one floss the shark's teeth and manipulate the moving parts on a couple of other "easier" pages as young as 1 year. I would recommend this! June 7, 2008 Fun Book We didn't have a problem so much with brushing teeth as we did technique, brushing front, back, etc. This book has each animal brushing a different part of their mouth with flossing. Great for teaching about brushing teeth. May 25, 2008 Difficult to use My daughter actually enjoys brushing her teeth more since we started reading this book. The problem is that the pull tabs for "brushing" the animals teeth are all set up for a right-handed person and my left-handed daughter has difficulty using them. Also, the interactive portions of this book are very stiff and difficult to maneuver. January 5, 2007 My little patients love this book. It could be a bit sturdier, but at least I can say that my last two copies were loved to death. November 16, 2006 Great start, but needs more quality built in My son (nearly 3) was resisting teeth brushing, so I decided to try this book. He loved the story and we were able to reference the characters in the book while brushing teeth. That seemed to help. The reason I didn't give it a better score was because of the poor quality of the moving items in the book. Most moving parts were difficult to move and the part on the last page simply would NOT move. Almost all pages are broken to some extent after 1 week of use. He still likes the book, but I'm a little dissapointed now. November 13, 2006 Great book for teaching how to brush My little girl is two. I got this book to entice her into brushing her teeth. It worked. We read the book just before we brush her teeth. She brushes each of the animals teeth, then brushes her own. It even includes flossing, but I don't think we are ready for flossing yet. March 14, 2006 Excellent This is a great book! I use it when we have young patients come into the dental office, they just love it! February 22, 2005 Cool book Excellent book but was sad that the brushes tore out too easily. My son is 2 yrs old tho & doesn't stand up to his torture. He loves the book tho & like to brush the animal's teeth & sometimes uses the book's brush for his... July 21, 2004 Fantastic Book! My 2 1/2 year old daughter wasn't being cooperative with having her teeth brushed until we got her this book. She loved it from the very beginning and repeatedly asked to read her "animal book". Her favorite is the shark who flosses. This book has been a tremendous success in helping us to teach our daughter to brush her teeth. I highly recommend it! February 23, 2004 Brush Brush Brush This is a fantastic way to get children to brush their teeth. My 2 1/2 year old daughter likes to brush her teeth but after we got this book she now LOVES to brush her teeth "like the lion!" This is a must have book!
