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! In this
reverentially funny tale 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."
Illustrated in watercolors with subtle humor by Brock Cole, the
main story is followed by a four-page time line featuring
reproduced period portraits of Washington.
