This revised, newly illustrated edition discusses the number of teeth humans have as babies, toddlers, children, and adults; describes how permanent teeth replace baby teeth; and includes a quick lesson in proper dental care. A valuable introduction.

School Library Journal

K-Gr 2-- How many teeth does one have during the various stages of life? That is the premise in this introduction that has been a mainstay in libraries serving children for nearly 30 years (HarperCollins, 1962). The update is long overdue. Changes in text are slight; the big transformation is in the book's overall appearance. The characters have been given an updated, more cartoonlike look, with new hairstyles and casual clothing. Gender and ethnic representation is more balanced, and the figures are more active. A baby formerly being held and fed is now feeding himself a bottle, Elizabeth has escaped her confining highchair, and readers see Sam brushing his teeth morning and night, rather than just a sketch of the sun and moon. But the biggest change is in the parents. Yesterday's stay-at-home Mom, in bathrobe, rollers, and lipstick, and Dad, in his business suit, have been replaced by a couple enjoying themselves at a picnic. Full-color watercolors replace Galdone's two-color drawings. All contribute to a striking uplift for an old standby, worth serious consideration. --Denise L. Moll, Lone Pine Elementary School, West Bloomfield, MI

Read and find out about teeth in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

When you were a baby, you didn't have any teeth at all. Then as you grew, your teeth started to come in. First one, then two—and finally, twenty teeth in all! But you won't keep these teeth forever.
