Summary

“Crunch crunch crunch。 Teeth are strong and sharp。 Crunch crunch crunch。 Teeth can help you chew。 But teeth are not for biting。 Ouch！ Biting hurts。” Sooner or later， almost all young children will bite someone—a friend， a parent， a sibling。 This upbeat， colorful， virtually indestructible book helps prevent biting and teaches positive alternatives。

The companion to our best-selling Hands Are Not for Hitting Board Book， Teeth Are Not for Biting gives reasons why children might want to bite。 Little mouths feel sore when new teeth come in; sometimes kids bite when they’re hungry， tired， cranky， frustrated， angry， bored， distressed， or seeking attention。 Author Elizabeth Verdick suggests positive things children can do instead of biting: chew a chewy toy， drink a cold drink， get a hug， tell a grown-up。 This book also includes helpful tips for parents and caregivers。

Kristen ，

Loved it！ Everything was written in English and Spanish， including the tips for parents at the end （my favorite of which was to never bite your child back - who needed to be told that？？）。 I will be looking for more Best Behavior books！

Jennifer Aftene ，

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK！！I really enjoy this book and so does my 2 almost 3 year old son。 We’ve been reading this together for quite some time and it’s always a great read。 Has helped with the issues it talks about too。 Highly recommend it。 Worth the buy！！！

This book helps little kiddos learn strategies （other than biting people） for dealing with frustration and pain。

For: readers looking for a book that explains that one shouldn't bite someone else （with some additional talking points for parents/caregivers in the back）。Possible red flags: brief example of making mistakes; doesn't cover that sometimes biting is necessary。 For: readers looking for a book that explains that one shouldn't bite someone else （with some additional talking points for parents/caregivers in the back）。Possible red flags: brief example of making mistakes; doesn't cover that sometimes biting is necessary。 。。。more

This is excellent book to teach little toddlers who seems to either be a bitter or not。 It describes how it feels to bit someone and why they shouldn't do it because it hurts and there are other ways to show someone you care for by hugging them。 And that teeth are made for eating。 This is excellent book to teach little toddlers who seems to either be a bitter or not。 It describes how it feels to bit someone and why they shouldn't do it because it hurts and there are other ways to show someone you care for by hugging them。 And that teeth are made for eating。 。。。more

I sometimes used my teeth to bite my older brother when I was small， and it worked out quite well for me。 I say if you have no other defenses and someone is bigger than you， you *should* bite them！ But this book is nice。

A good reminder for all。

Useful。 There’s an unintentionally funny part where it looks like the grownup is the bite risk。

Great book， fun to read with lovely illustrations。It's such a shame it doesn't work。 Despite reading it to my kid 109 times he still bites。Will update to five stars of he ever stops。Tails Are Not for Pulling， for the record， was even less effective Great book， fun to read with lovely illustrations。It's such a shame it doesn't work。 Despite reading it to my kid 109 times he still bites。Will update to five stars of he ever stops。Tails Are Not for Pulling， for the record， was even less effective 。。。more

What a simple straight forward book about not biting。 Some many children go through this issue。 I love how that tips for parents in the back of the book stress never biting your child back。** Talking Points: Have you ever bitten someone？ Tell me about it。 How did you feel afterwards？ Have you every purposefully hurt someone？ Tell me about it。 How did you feel afterwards？ How did you learn not to hurt others？ Are you always kind？ In what ways are you still learning to be kind？ What helps you be k What a simple straight forward book about not biting。 Some many children go through this issue。 I love how that tips for parents in the back of the book stress never biting your child back。** Talking Points: Have you ever bitten someone？ Tell me about it。 How did you feel afterwards？ Have you every purposefully hurt someone？ Tell me about it。 How did you feel afterwards？ How did you learn not to hurt others？ Are you always kind？ In what ways are you still learning to be kind？ What helps you be kind when you feel hurt？** Essential Oil Pairing Tip: I'd pair doTERRA's Forgive Essential Oil blend with this book。 So often people hurt others out of frustration or sadness or anger。 doTERRA's Forgive can help us all let go of the hurts from the past and go forward with our best selves - that don't hurt others back。 。。。more

Just what I needed because my little boy wouldn't stop biting me。 My son seems to like the book too and it has helped a little bit。 Just what I needed because my little boy wouldn't stop biting me。 My son seems to like the book too and it has helped a little bit。 。。。more

My friends love reading through this book and saying "ouch！ biting hurts！" The only thing I would change and sometimes do as I'm reading is to say teeth are not for biting friends。 Because teeth are for biting， just food and not people。 So giving that clarity helps my students I've found。 I also love that there is information for teachers/parents in the back of the book on how to help if your child is doing this or getting bit。 My friends love reading through this book and saying "ouch！ biting hurts！" The only thing I would change and sometimes do as I'm reading is to say teeth are not for biting friends。 Because teeth are for biting， just food and not people。 So giving that clarity helps my students I've found。 I also love that there is information for teachers/parents in the back of the book on how to help if your child is doing this or getting bit。 。。。more

I was hoping this would be a good book for my toddler who seems to have discovered his teeth。 But it wasn't all that great for him。 It seems to be better for older kids in the words used and the alternatives that are suggested。 I was hoping this would be a good book for my toddler who seems to have discovered his teeth。 But it wasn't all that great for him。 It seems to be better for older kids in the words used and the alternatives that are suggested。 。。。more

Teeth are not for biting by Elizabeth Verdick。 This story is realistic fiction。 The ages I think this story can be read to are from zero to three years old。 This story uses real people and talks about the topic teeth。 This story explains what teeth are for and how teeth should be used in the proper way。 This story discusses different emotions and how when you are feeling angry or sad， you do not let it out by biting others。 I would rate this story a five because it is really helpful for young ch Teeth are not for biting by Elizabeth Verdick。 This story is realistic fiction。 The ages I think this story can be read to are from zero to three years old。 This story uses real people and talks about the topic teeth。 This story explains what teeth are for and how teeth should be used in the proper way。 This story discusses different emotions and how when you are feeling angry or sad， you do not let it out by biting others。 I would rate this story a five because it is really helpful for young children。 When children are upset and have so many emotions， sometimes they do not know how to express those emotions， but this story teaches them other techniques on how to express themselves。 For example， “When new teeth come in your mouth may be sore。 Let’s do this instead: Drink a cold drink。 Take a little rest。 Get a hug！” This story uses other ways other than biting。 It also shows great illustrations that really show the emotions on the characters faces。 I would use this story if I was working with very young children and they were having trouble with biting。 I would read this story to them， so that kind of behavior will not occur again。 。。。more

Perfect book for young kids who are teething。 It has the repetition that young kids love and the parents will love the tips for behaviors to replace the biting。

This is great for a classroom full of toddlers。

I don't know why my mom read this book to me。 Teeth are OBVIOUSLY for biting， what else would they be for？ Other than grinding together with a really horrible noise。 Also， my mom is VERY DELICIOUS。 I don't know why my mom read this book to me。 Teeth are OBVIOUSLY for biting， what else would they be for？ Other than grinding together with a really horrible noise。 Also， my mom is VERY DELICIOUS。 。。。more

I really like this series a lot。 I think it is a great way to teach kids about appropriate uses for teeth， hands， voices， etc。 and I especially like that it explores the fact that kids are allowed to have angry， hurt， etc。 feelings， but gives options for healthy， kind ways to handle them。

A Allen ，

Fabulous book that perfectly captures uses for our teeth and alternatives to biting （such as taking a cold drink or using your word）。 Would highly recommend

Caitlinleah ，

Not a big fan of didactic books， but this one has great onomatopoeia and is disturbingly catchy。 It seems like a Daniel tiger episode to me。

Reserving judgement for after we see if it works。 So far toddler says， "Books are not for reading！"Update: She now thinks reading this book is a reward for biting someone。 Reserving judgement for after we see if it works。 So far toddler says， "Books are not for reading！"Update: She now thinks reading this book is a reward for biting someone。 。。。more

Great for teaching manners and for young children to teach them proper things to do with their teeth。 This encourages and teaches them that it is hurtful to bite people and that you should only use your teeth for proper things。

This book is great for children who are starting to teeth。 Within this age they are learning what their teeth are used for， therefore， they need to know what is right and what is wrong。 Clearly the children will not be able to read on their own so it would be good for a parent to read this book to them especially someone the child would listen to。 This book teaches children that biting is bad。 That if you are mad， it is best to do something else like chew a toy （teething toy） or drink something This book is great for children who are starting to teeth。 Within this age they are learning what their teeth are used for， therefore， they need to know what is right and what is wrong。 Clearly the children will not be able to read on their own so it would be good for a parent to read this book to them especially someone the child would listen to。 This book teaches children that biting is bad。 That if you are mad， it is best to do something else like chew a toy （teething toy） or drink something cold。 The words "biting is bad" is very repetitive so the children understand it and do not bite， as it is bad。 I gave this story 5 stars because it is very helpful for children at a young age and something easy that the parents can do to teach their child。 The illustrations went very well with the short story （short story to capture attention span） and showed examples because even though they cannot read， they can mimic actions。 。。。more

Tonight Hope said based on this book she is going to bite her friends。 Not the intent or goal of the book。 Headed back to the library。 Good strategies at the end of this one too but I really think this is more 1-2 yr old。
