Description

"Sea Smiles is the perfect distraction from tooth troubles—and fascinating for any reader interested in marine animals or tooth biology." ~ The Children's Book Review

When an otherwise harmless apple becomes the instrument for losing a tooth, a young girl is ready to retire her smile. That is . . . until she discovers teeth can give us all a lot to smile about.

This humorous, informative story is sure to be a hit with any kid who has lost a tooth, is about to, or just loves learning cool and fascinating facts about animals with weird teeth in the sea! Take a look inside the mouth of a Wolffish, penguin, sea krait and more. Then count up those teeth, and prepare to be surprised. One of these smiley sea animals has over 750,000 "teeth" - and it won't be the one you're expecting!

Author-illustrator Bonnie Kelso brings blasts of color, texture and fun to an adorable cast of characters who make the business of losing teeth entertaining, and yet a normal part of life. It's a perfect addition to any library, home, or dental office waiting room.

Reviews

"...Just like the protagonist, readers will find themselves distracted from their tooth troubles as they hear about the strange tooth-related experiences some other animals have. Alongside dozens of interesting tooth facts, humorous dialogue and wordplay keep the reading light and fun while reminding readers that looking different from others is okay. Bright cartoon-style artwork adds to the fun, interactive mood of the book."- "It’s a curious amalgam—sea creatures, charming leading lady, pure nonfiction—presented in a kid-friendly format without being overwhelming. This will bring some of the elements of graphic novels into the hands of emerging readers, in a lighthearted way that is also a valuable path to learning more."-
