Brush, Floss, and Rinse

"Kyle and Alan brush their teeth every night and every morning. Their mom helps them floss. Alan asks for a new toothbrush when the bristles of his toothbrush are bent. When he plays hockey on the ice rink, he wears a mouth guard. The boys choose apples for a snack instead of cookies. Alan appears to be the big brother, and he pours milk for them to drink. After brushing and flossing they use a fluoride rinse. Kyle and Alan go to the dentist for checkups. Two simple sentences of text appear per two-page spread. A framed note gives further information, such as: "Everyone should have his or her teeth cleaned and checked once or twice a year." The brightly-colored, ink-and-watercolor illustrations show children of Asian heritage. This is part of the "How to Be Healthy" series. A list of other books, a web site address, and a short index are included."
