LITTLE BEAR BRUSHES HIS TEETH

by Jutta Langreuter ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 1, 1997

Little Bear is not happy about his first encounter with toothbrushes and paste: ""Blech! Ptooey! This is horrible!"" He fancies himself a soldier, who doesn't need to brush anyway. When the mother's entreaties don't work, the father is enlisted, but he succeeds only by roaring. A lightbulb clicks on in Mama Bear's head: Why not depict bacteria as an army battling Little Bear's teeth? ""Pass me my sword,"" commands Little Bear. Using a hook to overcome life's early trials makes this book a stronger effort than the companion volume, Little Bear Goes to Kindergarten (0-7613-0231-X), which relies on trickery. Sobat's warm artwork adds a comforting touch.
