The book, written in Chinese, contains many colourful pictures. It features the adventure of a lovely computer character. Through its experience in real life, messages on the importance of oral health are sent out.
A special feature of the book is the inclusion of the winning entries of the 1993 'Drawing and Comic Strips Competition' organised by the Department of Health, Education Department and Hong Kong Dental Association, which lace together to form the theme of the book.
A total of 10,000 copies of the book have been published and will be sent out to all primary and secondary schools, universities, libraries, youth centres, hospitals, private and government dental clinics and other organisations shortly.
