Melvin the Magnificent Molar is a cute and functional children’s book I received last week from TwitterMoms. My children have given it a resounding two thumbs up and loved the cute story about a tooth named Melvin. “Mommy, I am brushing my Melvin,” they holler every morning now. See Melvin is a molar and as such he is often covered in a sleep scummies and gook and generally neglected because he is at the back of the mouth and just gets missed. The sweet little paperback picture book about hygiene was written by Julia Cook and Laura Jana, MD. The illustrations are lovely by Allison Valentine. The story is full of cute rhymes and sing song tunes that get children involved in the book. “Brush us and floss us and help us to shine so we can be ready and look mighty fine.” Cook and Jana use Melvin to take a bit of the mystery out of dentists and the tooth fairy and baby teeth.
Melvin the Molar is published by the National Centre For Youth Issues.
