Alexander & Renee versus Dr. DeCay is a wonderful story about a little boy, Alexander, who forgets to brush his teeth before going to bed. While sleeping, Alexander has a dream about him and his sister, Renee, working together to save Planet Smile from the menacing Dr. DeCay. As the two children use turbo scrubbing toothbrushes, dental floss, and dental sealant blasters, they realized that these things are not as effective unless you are using fluoride toothpaste.

This story encourages children to use proper oral hygiene. Also, it expels some of the myths that children and adults have about brushing, and exemplifies the importance of visiting the dentist. The use of color by the illustrator makes Alexander’s dream world appear to be real. By the end of the story, Alexander is excited to brush his teeth.

Watching the sun dance upon the horizon, a little boy, Miles, thinks of nothing else but flying one day. He wants to soar in the sky next to the birds, touch the clouds with his hands, and feel the wind brush against his face. I Want To Fly is a story that brings to life the possibilities of one’s dream becoming true. Miles spends the summer with his grandpa, working side by side. As Miles plays out front and his grandpa whittles on a piece of wood, the storeowner introduces them to a man who gives Miles a chance to pursue his dream.
