Totie and the Hungry Sugar Bugs By Hosam Alrqiq, Reema Boufis Illustrated by Anna Lomakina

 Totie and the Hungry Sugar Bugs


By Hosam Alrqiq, Reema Boufis

Illustrated by Anna Lomakina is the second adventure of sunny, tender, friendly, Totie the Molar.

In this second adventure Totie is particularly worried: there are foods not completely good for him and his other teeth friends. Which ones? The most loved ones by children: candies, soda, sugar.

And in fact Totie, ignoring what it is going on and the complot of Strepto&Friends  for damaging his calcium, he is deliciously eating a lollypop!  in ecstatic





way.


Yes because Totie is a gentle, kind, absolutely happy tooth, spreading joy, happiness and the good values of the existence from all his....calcium.


While he is eating peacefully, as we said before and surely all happy, his lollipop, strepto and his gang of friends approached him. Totie sounded a bit worried. 


They said him that he shouldn't speak with strangers. That mates don't appear so reassuring, maybe he thinks, but he is too kind for not being educate with them. 


At the same time Strepto ask for some lollipop.


Totie, extremely generous donate a part of it to Strepto. Immediately after the top of Totie is covered by acid. "Oh, you are real monsters" add a discomforted and ingenuous, tender Totie. They wanted his calcium and they had a part of it, although Brushy, somewhere for a walk notices a discomforted Totie in need of help. Yes: something doesn't seem to be OK.

So, Brushy explains to Totie what happened to him adding that maybe he shouldn't eat sweet things everytime. And that a correct dental hygiene can defeat forever that horrible Strepto and his friends! 


Beautiful book! Children will adore it!


Educative with a wonderful touch and the most friendly approach you can imagine.


Highly recommended.


I thank the author for the copy of this book.
