Ada’s World of Fun Series

Check out all those teeth! Whether for tooth-brushing routines or dentist visits or any time of the day, this colorful ode to pearly whites will have kids grinning.

When Ada asks each of her animal friends to open their mouth and say “ahhh,” she’s in for a sight! Lion has pointy teeth, Hippo has flat ones, and Mouse has teeth that are teeny-tiny. Elephant’s teeth are huge! Some teeth are crooked like Monkey’s or sharp like upside-down Bat’s, and some are numerous like Crocodile’s or, well, beaky like Duck’s, but everyone’s teeth are just right for them. With bold colors and memorable characters, Daishu Ma gives a toddler-size salute to the power of difference—and the pleasure of a smile.

Mouse is planning a surprise party. Is everybody ready? Vivid colors and bright-eyed silhouettes bring a forest full of animals to life in a funny (and sneaky!) story that would make an ideal birthday gift.

Who is hiding, poised to jump up happily when Ada arrives? Flashlight in hand, Mouse shines a light on all the friends, illuminating them one by one. Could that be Elephant clutching a balloon in the bushes? Is that Lion, getting ready to roar? And where is Monkey—maybe searching for a party hat? With its bold, graphic illustrations, an element of “guess who,” and an exciting display for the birthday child at the end, little ones will be more than ready for Daishu Ma’s delightful celebration of friendship, surprises, and caring for one another.
