'This cleverly written and superbly illustrated non-fiction picture is designed to help children understand their teeth, why they are important and how to care for them. Full of fun facts wrapped around animal, insect and human teeth. 

'Did you know a Tyrannosaurus Rex had sixty teeth. I have twenty teeth. When I am big I will have thirty two teeth.'

1 Case-study : Omnibus Books Jane Covernton , 2006 single work criticism
— Appears in: Paper Empires : A History of the Book in Australia 1946-2005 2006; (p. 299-302) ‘Looking back to the beginnings of Omnibus Books, it is difficult not to be envious of the climate and time in which the small company was created. The year 1981 now seems very propitious, and Adelaide, the place where it all started, appears like a tiny Mecca in the wide world of children's book publishing. But at the time neither of the company's two founders, Sue Williams and myself, had any idea where Omnibus would take us.’(Introduction 299)
