Description
All the Nonsense in my Teeth is a fantastical, dream-like story about teeth brushing, that takes readers on a journey into the narrator’s imagination and encourages good personal hygiene and following a daily routine.
Tonight I brushed my teeth.
They really needed a good clean!
Oh, let me tell you about all the things that I found in them…
There were breakfast hoops and ice cream scoops
An aeroplane doing loop the loops
An aeroplane, now that’s absurd!
Then to my shock... a flock of birds!
The charming artwork and sing-song rhyme scheme take readers on an adventure filled with fantastical imagery, as all kinds of things from cyclists doing stunts to an animal brass band are revealed inside the protagonist's mouth as they brush their teeth!
With entertaining illustrations from Barbara Bakos, let this wonderful picture book transport you and your children to another world before they go to sleep.

Cute
A very cute, detailed and colorful book to animate kids to brush their teeth. Very well done!
Catherine C, Reviewer
This is a story for children about cleaning their teeth, and how, while they are busy cleaning, they might have a little day dream about nonsense. In this story, a little girl finds that the nonsense comes through as finding animals, an acrobat, a man on a bike, a brass band and an aeroplane inside her teeth. She has to clean her teeth thoroughly to get rid of them all before she goes to bed. The images of the book are fantastic, bright and colourful, and the words are told in lovely rhyming verses. It is great that the book encourages children to clean their teeth. But to be honest, I found the story quite bizarre. Hopefully, children would laugh it all off and enjoy it.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
