Description
A story about a visit to a dentist and how it needn't be such scary experience.
Quick Summary
At just 151 words, this is a perfect pick for kids who are just starting to read on their own or for a quick bedtime story before a dental appointment. The book walks through what happens during a dentist visit in a way that takes the sting out of the experience without being preachy about it. It's especially great for kindergarten through second graders who might be feeling nervous about sitting in that big chair with the bright light, and the simple language means even reluctant readers can power through it without getting frustrated. Parents will appreciate that it normalizes the visit without sugarcoating it, so kids get a realistic but not scary preview of what to expect. If your kiddo loves this one and wants more, "The Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist" tells a similar story with a bit more detail and humor, but for a first introduction or a kid who's especially anxious, this shorter option hits the mark without overwhelming them.
