Have you seen this book,George Washington's Teeth
?
Fabulous!
It reads with short rhythmic sentences and
ends with timelines and photographs.
Poor Washington started losing teeth at age 22 and
a root fragment infection may be what lead to his death.
We learned that George had many sets of dentures...
most made out of Ivory (elephant, walrus, & hippo)
We didn't realize hippos had ivory.

Cool! We just finished reading about George. Those look very uncomfortable!
You should see the double set that is connected with gold spring wire. UGH
OH, we enjoyed that book, too! And, I love the new look to your blog!
