These two Mr Men-sized children's books are designed to teach kiddies the importance of teeth cleaning and healthy eating in a lively, fun way. In 2007 Get out of my mouth was used by the British Dental Health Foundation as part of National Smile Month.

…plaque-coated or healthy teeth scowl or grin accordingly, and the lunchbox characters burp and giggle on green hillsides or alongside a mound of sweets.

Get out of my mouth tackles the subject of plaque: what causes it and the damage it does to your teeth. A little boy called Elliott goes to the dentist and learns how to prevent plaque through caring for his teeth properly.

In Oh no! Not the sweets! six colourful lunchboxes go on an adventure and learn which foods and drinks their child owners should really be eating and drinking at mealtimes, and why.

The two publications are attractively illustrated; plaque-coated or healthy teeth scowl or grin accordingly, and the lunchbox characters burp and giggle on green hillsides or alongside a mound of sweets. Authors Laura Griffiths and Victoria Clark have also succeeded in packing a great deal of information into two relatively small books. Children are bound to enjoy listening to the stories being read aloud and following the action from page to page.
