Do you know how important it is to brush your teeth? In the delightful children's book "Horace Henway Brushes It Off," author and illustrator Kathleen Arthur teaches us a valuable lesson about dental hygiene in a fun and engaging way.
Meet Horace Henway, the Helpful Neighbor
Horace is a regular kid who loves helping others, especially his elderly neighbor, Mr. Hunt. Mr. Hunt has a bit of a clutter problem and often misplaces things. Luckily, Horace is always happy to lend a hand (or a keen eye!) to find whatever is lost.
The Case of the Missing Teeth
One day, Mr. Hunt loses something very important – his dentures! He's searched high and low, but those teeth have vanished. Poor Mr. Hunt is worried about eating his meals without them.
Horace, being the kind and helpful soul he is, jumps right in to solve the mystery of the missing dentures. He searches every nook and cranny of Mr. Hunt's cluttered house. He even checks the fishbowl (much to the dismay of the resident fish!).
Sly the Cat Holds the Key
Just when Horace is about to give up, Sly the cat saunters in with a knowing grin. It seems Sly knew exactly where those dentures were all along!
A Valuable Lesson Learned
This experience teaches Horace a very important lesson about taking care of his own teeth. He realizes that brushing and flossing regularly are essential for a healthy smile. He doesn't want to end up like Mr. Hunt, searching for lost teeth!
