Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
It's impossible to read these two books without "hearing" the gentle voice of the host of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood . The latest in his First Experiences series, both of these books maintain the high standards set by the previous eight volumes. In simple, uncondescending language, Rogers explains exactly what children can expect from each kind of encounter, discussing the people and the equipment involved. The full-color photographs in these books are sharply detailed, and add to the sense of calm authority present in each entry of this series, as comforting to children as Mister Rogers's signature blue cardigan. Ages 3-7.

From School Library Journal
Pre-K-- These additions to the series are of the same high quality as previous titles. Large, clear photographs show all phases of Going on an Airplane, while the text explores the details. A family with a preschool girl and a young boy traveling alone arrive at a large, busy terminal where they check their baggage and do a little exploring before boarding the plane. Once on board, they get acquainted with their surroundings. The cockpit is occupied by the pilot and a young female copilot; flight attendants are both male and female. Seatbelts are fastened, and then come the sounds and sensations of takeoff. Throughout the book, care is taken to emphasize that adults are always available to help and to look after young passengers. The same caring tone is evident in Going to the Dentist, aimed at children making their first visit. More brightly colored photographs show preschool boys and girls having their teeth examined, cleaned, and treated with flouride; no potentially painful procedures are covered here. The uses of the equipment and instruments are briefly explained in easily understood terms. Good dental hygiene is stressed, as is the concept of the dentist as a friend and helper. Both books have introductions for parents which outline the experiences from a child's viewpoint, and suggest ways that parents can help. There are other titles on these subjects, but these books are the best available for the age group. DeSantis' A Dentist's Tools (Dodd, 1988) is more technical and aimed at an older audience. Byron Barton's Airport (Crowell, 1982) covers some aspects of air travel, but is a much sketchier presentation. These books are must-haves for any library serving young children. --Lucy Young Clem, Evansville Vanderburgh County Public Library, IN

This review is from: Going to the Dentist (First Experiences) (Hardcover)
I trust Mister Rogers to give a gentle, thoughtful introduction to new experiences - and this book is no exception. It is easy to read and talk about with your child. He touches on all the parts of a dentist visit that might be worrisome to young ones and allows room for parents and teachers to add other advice and experience for the child's benefit. The photos are now a bit dated, and yet this does not detract from the purpose of the book. We talked about how a room or a chair might look a little different, but that the children, dentists and hygienists were people just like us (and yes, the book portrays the rainbow of people in this world - as do all Mister Rogers books). Great book with which to introduce (and revisit) going to the dentist.
