Hexaflexagons, Probability Paradoxes, and the Tower of Hanoi is the inaugural volume in The New Martin Gardner Mathematical Library series. Based off of Gardener's enormously popular Scientific American columns, his puzzles and challenges can now fascinate a whole new generation Paradoxes and paper-folding, Moebius variations and mnemonics, fallacies, magic square, topological curiosities, parlor tricks, and games ancient and modern, from Polyminoes, Nim, Hex, and the Tower of Hanoi to four-dimensional ticktacktoe. These mathematical recreations, clearly and cleverly presented by Martin Gardner, delight and perplex while demonstrating principles of logic, probability, geometry, and other fields of mathematics. Now the author, in consultation with experts, has added updates to all the chapters, including new game variations, mathematical proofs, and other developments and discoveries.

Cute idea! Very powerful
Style: Dinosaur
I love the concept of it, especially for little ones that like to shove toys in their mouths. But boy is it MESSY, lol. Water will absolutely get everywhere even if you put it on the lowest setting so I just let my kids hold it in the bath. They mostly suck in it so I'm not sure if it's actually flossing their teeth, but that's more of a user error, not a product error. I tried it on myself and it's pretty powerful even for an adult. It definitely functions well. The size is just perfect for an adult, kind of big for a toddler. Overall it's great value for your money in my opinion.
