Get your copy today and join Petrified Prunella on
this heartwarming journey from France to the United States, as she
discovers the magic hidden within every gap-toothed smile.
Meet Prunella, a sweet girl that could not hurt any living thing. See how gentle she was with all living things. The art work was lovely.
Prunella had many good qualities.
But she also had fears, and the fears multiplied when she was forced to move
out of her country. Everything was new to her and she was scared of everything.
Meanwhile, she was having pain on her tooth and was afraid of a rodent that
might come take it. I kind of felt that there were two separate issues here
that didn’t quite coincide.
Oddly enough, it was her tooth superstition that opened her up to the new kids at school.
Story was a good reflection of the differences in cultures around the world. Was this more a story about Prunella facing her fears as the new kid in a new country? Or was this more about Prunella figuring out the legend of the Tooth Fairy? Either way, it was about Prunella getting over her fear.
A nice read!

by Sophie Jupillat Posey
Genre: Bilingual Children’s Book
Join Mario as he gets his braces and learns to stand up against his
not-so-friendly friends in this bilingual book.
Mario
hates his braces. They are painful, they look ugly, and his food gets
stuck in them all the time.
As everyone at school makes fun of
Mario and he is disheartened by all the mocking he faces, will
Mario’s elder brother, Tony, be able to help him stand up against
his bullies and finally accept his braces?
I Really REALLY Don’t
Want Braces inspires children to embrace their braces, educates
them on the benefits of braces, teaches children to stand up for
themselves, and motivates young readers to discover their inner
strength. This book will help you raise confident and resilient
little humans.
A kid doesn’t want to get braces.
The are is nice and the words are written in a poetic limerick. It was cute and funny. It expresses the agony of having to get and living with the braces. Oh, the pain and shame!
This is a story that most kids—those that have had braces—will be able to relate to. A good example of taking things in stride and not letting the taunts bother you. I especially liked how the kid kept changing the colors of his braces all year round. It was pretty cool!
A great read!
