Book Review: The Tooth Book
Rating: 
This book is a brief and playful introduction to the different kinds of teeth that are found in the world — reminiscent of The Foot Book but not as good. The text is by Dr. Seuss and illustrations by Joe Mathieu; while children might enjoy it, it’s not nearly in the leage of some of Seuss’s best work, although it does include wordplay and the wonderful rhythmic text he is known for. It is disconcerting to hear Seussical rhyme with illustrations that are so different from his, and the effect is a little incoherent — not quite hitting the mark.
