Some books for children from ages 4 to 8 are just fun to read--over and over. NO MORE GUNK combines fun with practical. Parents are able to help their children understand the value of consistently brushing their teeth and removing gunk. The snappy rhymes combine with vivid illustrations from Kevin Collier and the combination is irresistible.

While not evident on the front cover, you get two books for the price of one with this title. OUCH SUNBURN! teaches the danger from the sun and how small children can protect themselves. Simple thoughtful words combine with terrific artwork.

If you have small children, this book could become a read aloud favorite.

Donna J. Shepherd's back and she's packing a punch with this Double Doozie!

When I was a little girl, almost every product had a jingle, which was a musical commercial with catchy rhymes. Jingles provided a pleasant and effective way to remember a product; the best jingles are still in my memory today.

What better way to teach good dental hygiene to kids? From plaque and morning breath to clean fresh teeth and tongue, Shepherd's fresh rhymes will help kids remember what they've learned in No More Gunk. Kevin Scott Collier's illustrations provide a burst of color and whimsy to spark the imagination.

At the end of No More Gunk, I was delighted to see that even Shepherd's Tooth Tips rhyme: "Brush with toothpaste twice each day/ for healthy teeth that won't decay!"

This book would make a great gift---but wait, there's more!

OUCH! Sunburn, Shepherd's sunny reminder, is included as a Double Doozie! Her rhyme perfectly captures the careless abandon kids feel when they play outside: "No sunscreen./Can't sit still./Skin will tan./Yes, it will." Kids and grownups alike will chuckle at Collier`s illustration of a boy coated with cool green aloe, but it's a subtle reminder to protect your skin before you go outside.

Parents and grandparents, this Double Doozie will make a wonderful gift for any child you know. Two great books for the price of one!
