Ginger McFlea Will Not Clean Her Teeth

Parents everywhere have to deal with the common childhood issues of kids not brushing their teeth. And Ginger McFlea is no exception! Ginger will not clean her teeth, no matter how hard everyone tires to make her!

Ginger McFlea, twin sister of Jasper (of Jasper McFlea Will Not Eat His Tea! Fame) makes her debut in this fun and witty picture book, with vibrant, friendly illustrations that make cleaning your teeth seem more appealing to the most reluctant of toddlers.

While her brother Jasper loves using his toothbrush, Ginger gives hers to her pet turtle. But when the dentist tells her that the tooth fairy doesn't accept rotten teeth, Ginger changes her habits quick-smart!
