 This is an educational and situational illustrated children´s book. The selection of words and pictures is designated for children. In an acceptable way, the book teaches children all important things about brushing teeth. Block letters enable the little schoolchildren to read the entire book on their own. Educational advice was given by Prof. Marija Ivanković, Head of the Pre-school Department at Ministry of Science, Education and Sports, Croatia.
The book earned excellent reviews (special education teacher, stomatology teacher, kindergarten teacher), which you can read on the back cover of the book.
The story:
In the baby bears family, after supper, the baby bears Lara and Vanda prepare to go to bed.
Before going to bed, they must brush their teeth – and here Papa Bear helps. They choose the toothpaste, learn what a good toothbrush should be like.
 Papa Bear reminds them how to properly brush their teeth, with circular movements, from all sides, and helps them with brushing the teeth, so everything is well done. The baby bears also learn that after cleaning the teeth they should not eat or drink anything, only water. The contented parents tuck the baby bears into bed – but Vanda disappears! Her doll Anika cannot go to bed without brushing her teeth – so Vanda went to brush Anika´s teeth.
At the end of the picture book, there is dentist´s advice for adults.
I believe that this is a high quality children´s book. I and would like it to reach children and help them with developing the tooth brushing habit. It should teach them some things that we professionals take for granted and may forget to point out. It should be fun and not trouble for children.
Thank you for your interest.
