4.0 out of 5 stars.  Well done!, July 06, 2015
By Ereka
Well done. Not your typical children book about oral hygiene.
Illustrations were pretty; not overwhelming with dental equipment and office decor. This book lays out many reasons why children should be good about taking care of their primary teeth.
Depending on the age group, it can a little long but my 5 year old was interested for the entire story.
As an addition, you can request that your child receive emails from the "tooth fairy" which was a nice bonus.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  This is the best tooth-brushing book I have read., November 18, 2014
By ScotFlower
Excellent book on cleaning ones teeth... especially because it also covers what to expect at the dentist office so kids will not be so scared. Basically the molar wants to be brushed so he doesn't turn green and pleads with the kid to take good care of him and all his tooth friends. This is the best tooth-brushing book I have read.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  Great book, every dentist's office should have one., December 07, 2013
By Karen E. Stockton
My 3rd grader is reading this to herself again after I read it to her last night. The preschooler is listening avidly. It is very engaging and informative about visiting the dentist as well. I would highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  Phenomenal book!, July 16, 2013
By Esmeralda
I cannot say enough about this book. It is so entertaining all the way to the end. I think it is an excellent teaching tool and I think I am just as big or even a bigger fan of it than my students.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  Great book for preschoolers & early elementary ages!, February 21, 2011
By RDHandMomOf2 (Central PA USA)
I'm a Dental Hygienist and also Mom to two toddlers. I love this book. I must have ordered about 15 books in hopes that I'd find a good one to read to the preschool children as part of my dental health month presentation. Melvin the Magnificent Molar won because it has the right angle to appeal to young children without having any "scary" influence (ie: shots, pulling teeth, scared, hurt, drilling, etc...so many of the other books did). I only wish it was available in hardcover, as I'm unsure the paperback will hold up over the years through the hands of many toddlers in several classrooms :) My 5 year old also voted it the book for me to read to her preschool class over all the others!

5.0 out of 5 stars.  Did you brush your Melvin?, December 27, 2010
By Katie Pie
Have a kid who likes to rush through brushing his teeth? This book is perfect! Melvin is your molar and he tells kids not to forget to brush him. It's great, we always ask "Did you brush your Melvin?!" Great reminder, and the tooth Fairy is friends with the Dentist, which is always helpful.
