The Brushies Book

The sugar bug storyline finally got my kid excited about brushing — she loves pointing out the characters on every page. The brushing tips are practical too, not just fluff.

My toddler actually sits still for the full story about fighting sugar bugs, and the brushing tips page gave me new ways to make toothbrushing fun. The characters are simple enough that my kid memorized their names in two days.

After a week of reading this at bedtime, my daughter now points at the sugar bugs on her teeth and lets me brush them away. The sturdy pages survive her enthusiastic page-turning, which is a huge plus.

My toddler actually sits still for toothbrushing time now, because she's so busy spotting the sugar bugs on each page. The brushing tips at the end give me a simple way to make it fun, and the characters are silly enough to hold her attention.
