This is a must read for any child who will be visiting the dentist for the first time. Out of all the books I surveyed, (most of them are about children loosing their teeth), this hit the mark in addressing the anxiety a child feels. While Little Bill may have some fears of his own, he gets over them after talking to his family the night before his visit. Once there, he notices a girl in the waiting room who looks scared and finds out its her first visit. In the end Little Bill helps this girl get over her fears by pretending to be a dentist himself and uses her teddy bear as the patient. My daughter and I read this book two weeks before her visit. It was a big help in setting her expectations.
