How Many Teeth? by: Paul Showers

I really really really enjoyed this book. It was perfect to explain the process of growing and losing your teeth to young children. It starts off with a baby and says she has no teeth, then moves to a toddler who has 6 teeth, then to a boy who has 20 teeth, then to grown ups who have 32 teeth. It is a really interesting way to go about giving information about this. It has great language and even has a rhyming scheme that makes it more fun to read. This would work great for children to read or even as a read aloud by a parent or teacher. It has great illustrations that are eye-catching and even show the actual process of losing and growing teeth. I really recommend this book and think it is a lot of fun. It is interesting that the other informational books I have read this week were more geared towards an older elementary school student and this one is definitely directed at children of younger ages. This showed me that informational books do not only have to be for older children and can be as simple as how many teeth have have. 2 thumbs up.
