It's a wonderful new children's book about dental care titled Donald Dent that we at Schuyler Head Start produced (and which I authored). One of our most daunting shared challenges is trying to ensure that children learn about proper dental hygiene and receive professional dental care. So we decided to write a children's book that addresses these critical issues. It touches on real themes children and parents cope with, such as eating the right foods, brushing and flossing, debunking the myth that pre-permanent teeth need no care, and overcoming a child's fear of getting into the dentist's chair. Beautifully illustrated, with rhyming verses that engage any child's ear, Donald Dent is written to enhance early childhood literacy skills by introducing new vocabulary and by expanding young learners' sense of the play of language. The publisher has agreed to donate a portion of the proceeds to Schuyler Head Start's dental program, helping us to help children get the care they need. So buying this book will help you meet your program's dental education and literacy goals, while helping to fund dental services for children of a neighboring Head Start. I hope you'll consider purchasing copies of Donald Dent. Call (607) 273-2870 for more information or to order (and large orders will receive free shipping). We think it would make an ideal book for parents and caregivers to read to children. Look for an article about Donald Dent in an upcoming issue of the national Head Start Bulletin. Thank you for participating in this unique grassroots effort. Sincerely, Jeff Lydon Executive Director, Schuyler Head Start, Inc.
