Jesse has such lovely teeth,
So sparkling, clean and white.
To keep them that way
He brushes each day,
Each morning and every night.
Jesse has a very nice smile.
It's something I like to see
When his lips don't hide
Those nice teeth inside
As he flashes his smile at me.
Everyone needs to brush their teeth
To keep them healthy and clean.
When you brush you know
You can let your teeth show,
So smile and let them be seen!
February is National Children's Dental Health Month. Keeping teeth clean is an important part of staying healthy. A friend of mine, Donna Shepherd, has a cute book called NO MORE GUNK! that helps children learn to take care of their teeth through peppy and clever rhymes. It is filled with bright, bold, colorful illustrations by Kevin Collier and is a fun way to remind children to brush their teeth. As an added bonus, the book also includes OUCH! SUNBURN, which teaches children about sun safety. Guardian Angel Publishing (who published my Animal Sound Mix-up) is the publisher. You can visit Donna's NO MORE GUNK! blog for coloring pages, book trailer and links.
