Who is stealing all the toothpaste?
It starts on a quiet Monday when an unexpected visitor arrives in the garden pond: a very small, very scaly baby crocodile. Archie doesn't notice at first-he is far too excited about the upcoming Bright Smile Competition at school. The grand prize? A sack of sparkly stickers and an enormous barrel of toothpaste
Archie rushes upstairs to practise his brushing, but something strange is happening in the family bathroom. First, Dad's minty-gel vanishes into thin air. Next, Mum's herbal sensitive tube disappears. Then, his sister Otilie's strawberry sparkle tube is gone without a trace
Clutching the very last tube left in the house, Archie follows a sticky trail of pink bubbles down the stairs and into the garden... where he catches the culprit green-clawed But this little thief doesn't want trouble-he just has a very sad, very toothy frown, and a big dream of his own.
Can an ambitious young boy and a wide-mouthed reptile team up to take home first prize?
A delightfully funny, warm-hearted children's picture book about friendship, unexpected teamwork, and the joy of a sparkling smile.
Perfect for parents, teachers, and early readers aged 3-7, Archie and the Toothpaste Thief turns everyday bedtime battles into a giggle-filled adventure. Beautifully brought to life with vibrant, expressive illustrations by Anna Buka, this charming tale also includes Archie's Official Tooth-Brushing Rules to help little ones master healthy dental habits twice a day
