George Washington's Teeth by Deborah Chandra & Madeleine Comora
Illustrated by Brock Cole
In this reverentially funny tale from Deborah Chandra written in verse and based on Washington's letters, diaries, and other historical records, readers will find out what really happened as they follow the trail of lost teeth to complete tooflessness.
From battling toothaches while fighting the British, to having rotten teeth removed by his dentists, the Father of His Country suffered all his life with tooth problems. Yet, contrary to popular belief, he never had a set of wooden teeth. Starting at the age of twenty-four, George Washington lost on average a tooth a year, and by the time he was elected president, he had only two left!
Illustrated in watercolours with subtle humour by Brock Cole, George Washington's Teeth is followed by a four-page time line featuring reproduced period portraits of Washington.
