5.0 out of 5 stars Great, great book to read before taking a child to the dentist for the first time!, December 30, 2005

By	carolyn "shopperextrodinaire" (Canal Winchester, OH) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Grab this book - this one should be in every library! It's a great hit at our house because in places, it's quite funny! Sister wakes up one morning with a loose tooth and thus, talks funny! The words are spelled as such so my little one gets quite the chuckle out of how sister says certain "s" words! Anyway, sister spends the entire day wiggling her loose tooth until it's time to take brother to the dentist for his checkup. The dentist finds that brother has a cavity and lets sister stand over the chair and watch while he fills brother's tooth. Brother does try to torment sister quite a bit about how the dentist is going to "yank our her loose tooth," so she is somewhat timid to get into the chair. However, she does and while she is busy asking questions and looking at the dentist's "yanker," the dentist feels her tooth in a cloth, wiggles it around and out it comes! Sister had no idea it even happened! She's pretty excited and thrilled about all of it and was very glad that brother was wrong about the yanker! She gets a dime from the tooth fairy and was very excited!

This book does an excellent job in describing what happens when you go to the dentist. It's great for getting rid of those little jitters and it really is accurate. Great job and I highly recommend it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Nightmarish EXAMPLE!, April 7, 2009

By	Linda G. Cannon "Tooth Lady Linda" (Fremont, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist (Berenstain Bears First Time Books) (Hardcover)

DO NOT BUY! This book could frighten any child! As a Dental Hygienist with over 25 years experience, I do not recommend this book. Brother Bear taunts Sister about her upcoming dental appointment. THEN she has a tooth pulled!
A MUCH BETTER CHOICE: "Show Me Your Smile!" A Nick Kids book about DORA the Explorer. It takes Dora through her visit to the dentist with very positive words and pictures, and EVERYONE loves Dora!
