Grab your toothbrush and come read and sing along.

A Toothbrush Tale is a story about a young boy who awakes and discovers that his toothbrush dances at night and sings a beautiful song highlighting the importance of taking care of their teeth. The toothbrush song encourages kids and helps teeth brushing become a fun activity for them. The colorful and bright illustrations are the highlight of this cute little picture book. It wonderfully depicts a young  boy and his parents as they talk about all the good reasons to brush your teeth daily. Illustrator has done an amazing job in displaying a non-living thing like a toothbrush to really come alive through the pictures.
