Hilarious!

OHMIGOSH! This is the perfect book in preschool when you need a "G" book! But even better than that, it's a GREAT book to read aloud, with a delightful ending! I like the way a twist of sharing in the book provides a subliminal message to the children of why someone might appear grumpy when in reality, they just don't like their smile. This is the 3rd purchase of the book because I've had to share it with fellow teacher friends :) Good for preschool as well as up to 2nd? grade.

Humorous, enjoyable

I just bought this book for my second grade class. My 19-year-old daughter read it at home. She visited my classroom and insisted she be the one to read the book to my class. The kids loved the story. Poor Grandpa's teeth are missing! There are several suspects. The "mystery" is solved with the last illustration. About half of my students "got it" but, regardless, all of the children enjoyed the story immensely.

Grandpa's Teeth

This book was wonderful... I used it in a writing lesson with my kids and they loved it! It's a great book to use with all elementary levels. My 2nd graders picked up on what was happening quickly and wanted me to read the book again.

"Help I've been robbed"

"Help I've been robbed" the opening line of "Grandpa's Teeth" has become one of my 3 yr olds favorite sayings since reading this very creative and very funny children's mystery. It cracks me up hearing her yell it throughout the house and it was actually quite simple to explain to her what "being robbed" meant thanks to "swiper the fox" from Dora! The story is actually quite hilarious thanks to how you have to hear poor grandpa struggle to pronounce everything without his pearly whites making this book a fun read, but some of the humor may be lost on the younger tots but the strength in that is its a book that they can grow along with and eventually read to themselves. Grandpa who happens to be quite a messy soul (though he blames it on "gump" his dog) has some of the finest teeth around made by a swiss craftsmen he awakens one day and finds them missing from his cup by his bedside so of course after searching high and low they call the police and report them missing (afterall replacing them would cost a fortune) and from then on everyone becomes a suspect causing the townspeople to just smile everyday, every minute which is of course making everyone crazy and scaring the tourists so something needs to be done cause his teeth just aren't turning up! they've rounded up suspects but most of them were missing teeth themselves!! and sure they try to cheer grandpa up by taking him the fair but that only makes him feel worse and you'll see just why when you buy the book. The illustrations are fantastic with amazing tiny little details and very expressive faces! But the kicker is who the culprit in the end is thats sure to make even the biggest kid smile. I recommend for ages 3-9
