"This book is absolutely adorable!"

"A great book to share with the littles in your life"
"I shared this book with my niece. A great little tale about self control and the importance of dental care. A great book to share with the littles in your life."
"Lovely story; kids will thoroughly enjoy this..."
"There is much to learn here for children, mainly that no matter who we are or what we look like, we are all human and deserve to be noticed. Just because we may look different or have a different skin color, it doesn’t make us any less of a person, and this book will teach children that inclusivity is a very important part of life. Lovely story; kids will thoroughly enjoy this.."
"If you're looking for a fun tale, this is the perfect picture book"
"I loved the portrayal of the dentist's office, and Hellman's artwork makes it even more immersive for the young reader. If you're looking for a fun tale, this is the perfect picture book. Recommended to kids below the age of ten."
"This is a book I would love to have in my classroom!"
"It is super simple to read, it rhymes, and has the cutest pictures. I think it is a great way to address how differences are what make us unique and it ties in real world things such as food and animals before discussing people."
