Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Two paper-over-board books starring a benign green monster address common childhood experiences: Molly at the Dentist and Molly and the Birthday Party by Angie Sage. Bold, full-color illustrations and sturdy flaps help to address little ones' feelings. When the dentist asks a grinning, wide-eyed Molly if he can have a closer look at her teeth, youngsters lift the flap to find her answer: "No!" she says, her tiny fangs tucked inside her tightly pursed lips. But her fear dissipates when the dentist gives her a toothbrush. In the second title, the heroine learns to share.

From School Library Journal
reS-Gr 1-Molly is an exuberant, fuzzy green creature who goes to Olly's birthday party but doesn't want to give him his present. After playing games, winning a prize, and watching friends give him gifts, she is finally ready to do the same. As she gobbles cake and ice cream at home, she says she loves birthday parties. In Dentist, Molly doesn't want the pink, dragonlike dentist to examine her new teeth, but agrees to look with him when he produces a small dental mirror. Molly goes home with a new toothbrush and enthusiasm for using it. These flap books illustrate familiar preschool scenarios in bright, bold hues. Sage brings her colorful imaginary beings to life with simple gestures and endearing expressions on engaging, well-composed double-page spreads. Treats for storytime or laptime.
