Het Brushies Boek

The brushing tips at the back of the book turned our nightly fight into a game — my four-year-old now narrates what the sugar bugs are doing while she scrubs. It's short enough to hold her attention but the characters kept her coming back for weeks.

My toddler actually asks for this one at bedtime now, which never happens with other books. The brushing tips at the back gave me a script for the nightly battle, and the sugar-fighting angle helps her understand why we do it.

The way the book weaves the characters into brushing time has completely changed our bedtime routine—my toddler actually reminds me to brush now. Each page introduces a new tip naturally, so it never feels like a lecture. The sugar-fighting angle is clever and simple enough for little ones to grasp.
