I think it’s important to mention that he had teeth from slaves. The main text doesn’t even mention human teeth. The timeline at the end does, but doesn’t share they were from slaves. The illustrations of slaves seem to reinforce the benevolent owner view, which isn’t the truth. These things make it hard to buy into a light-hearted biography.

This book is based on Washington's diaries and letters, which chronicled his tooth probleams. My daughter, 8, thought this rhyming book was hilarious and she's right. Funny with history thrown in is perfect for kids. There is a time-line in the back that gives even more information.

sometimes you get a little carried away reading a book for work-related purposes (cataloging). :-) this is a very fun children's book that touches on history and dentistry in a whimsical way.

George never had a set of wooden false teeth. He did, however, have ones made from hippo tusk. He also had dental difficulties his entire life.

A good primer for Washington's teeth struggles, although I wonder if it were published more recently, it would elaborate more on the human teeth used for his dentures (aka, from slaves.)
