Teeth are vital for the survival of these reptiles. However, for our protagonist, brushing the crocodile's teeth means putting his life in danger. Although the crocodile is friendly, it is still a ferocious and insatiable animal, so it is very important to be careful, meticulous, and quite methodical. You need to have the necessary tools, follow an order, and dedicate the right amount of time to each part of its colossal teeth. If he did it wrong, the crocodile could bite him, even by accident! Can he fulfill this responsibility without making a single mistake?

Crocodile Teeth is an original and entertaining picture book, ideal for reading aloud, which promotes conversation at home and at school about healthy routines.
