Download or read book Thumbsucker written by Walter Kirn and published by Anchor. This book was released on 1999-10-19 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eighties-centric, Ritalin-fueled, pitch-perfect comic novel by a writer to watch brings energy and originality to the classic Midwestern coming-of-age story.Meet Justin Cobb, "the King Kong of oral obsessives" (as his dentist dubs him) and the most appealingly bright and screwed-up fictional adolescent since Holden Caulfield donned his hunter's cap. For years, no remedy--not orthodontia, not the escalating threats of his father, Mike, a washed-out linebacker turned sporting goods entrepreneur, not the noxious cayenne pepper-based Suk-No-Mor--can cure Justin's thumbsucking habit.Then a course of hypnosis seemingly does the trick, but true to the conservation of neurotic energy, the problem doesn't so much disappear as relocate. Sex, substance abuse, speech team, fly-fishing, honest work, even Mormonism--Justin throws himself into each pursuit with a hyperactive energy that even his daily Ritalin dose does little to blunt.Each time, however, he discovers that there is no escaping the unruly imperatives of his self and the confines of his deeply eccentric family. The only "cure" for the adolescent condition is time and distance.Always funny, sometimes hilariously so, occasionally poignant, and even disturbing, deeply wise on the vexed subject of fathers and sons, Walter Kirn's Thumbsucker is an utterly fresh and all-American take on the painful process of growing up.

Download or read book Why the Long Face written by Todd Morgan and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why the Long Face? is a fun-to-read children's book suitable for ages 5-9 that addresses the important facial growth and development concerns associated with thumb sucking. Dr. Morgan is a dentist with specialized training in craniofacial growth, orthodontics and sleep medicine who conveys the important message that alteration of normal facial growth can be caused by improper sucking habits in children. Thumbs, "sippy cups" and long term use of pacifiers displace normal tongue position and alter muscle tone with the unfortunate consequence of poor tooth alignment and diminished facial beauty. These habits also lead to changes in jaw structure, reducing airway size, leading to poor sleep and snoring, behavioral problems, and poor school performance. These children often fail to thrive and carry the associated problems into adulthood. In this book Dr. Morgan is joined by his favorite illustrator, Manny Aguilera, to portray a story about a very special little girl named Gracie in a wonderful Curious George style. In her story, Gracie loves to suck her thumb, but finds a way to stop sucking with the help of her parents, her dentist, and even her pony Alice. Parents will find this book very helpful in guiding their children away from harmful habits and we hope that every dentist will make our book available to kids and parents in their waiting rooms.
