Book Review: Melvin the Magnificent Molar


I was asked to do another book review. And what a cute book it was! Parker asked to take it to pre-school the next day so that he could share it with his classroom! I haven't gotten any notes back from his teacher as of yet as to how the rest of the class liked it, but I am sure if they are anything like Parker they asked their teacher to read it again.


Melvin is the Molar all the way in the back of your mouth who we need to make sure we brush. He educates your child through "his eyes" on teeth and how to keep them healthy. He does it in a cute old fashioned rhyming way. The illustrations are just wonderful! They did a great job.

Even at 4 years old I still find myself struggling to get Parker to brush his teeth well. Now all I have to say is make sure you get Melvin and you can see him push that brush a little farther back to reach him. :)
