Library Books Review #2 – Dentist books in Chinese

So I am trying to keep track of the library books I borrowed that I recommend here on this blog. Hope it will be useful for your reference as well. For context, my toddler is around 3 years old. The posts will cover a mix of English and Mandarin books.

I included links to Amazon so you can buy at your convenience the English and Chinese versions of the books (where available). I get a tiny commission when you click through the links and make a purchase. It doesn’t increase your cost on Amazon but it does help you give me a tiny “tip” so to speak, which eventually accumulates enough to treat me to a coffee or two. :P

Right from the start Omori Hiroko’s picture book paints a trippy picture of teeth that actually moves at will in your mouth. Having fun. Just like little children.
