From Appointments, Bibs, and Cavities through X-rays and how to combat icky Yellow film on teeth, this book takes kids on a reassuring tour of a trip to the dentist's office. Bright, friendly collage artwork pairs with informative facts on equipment and procedures. This new edition includes an addendum with activities, frequently asked questions, and suggestions for parents and teachers on how to maximize the book's usefulness.

From helping them learn to draw, know their colors, and how and why to floss, Harriet Ziefert has been writing books that entertain and inform kids from infancy onward. She is also the founder and publisher of Blue Apple Books. The author lives in South Orange, NJ.
Like their previous collaboration, ABC Doctor (2007), this book is designed to soothe anxious young patients. From A (“appointment”) to Z (“zillion times cleaner”), the bright, collage-filled pages feature facts about teeth and gums, assurances that a visit to the dentist won’t hurt too much, and images of children getting care from friendly dentists and hygienists. The facts range from the basics (explaining why a bib and dental chair are useful) to the more specialized (the different types of teeth and what a tooth is made of), while the slightly old-school illustrations (the dentist and orthodontist are both portrayed as white men, and their helpers are female) offer a variety of views of mouths and teeth, including one nice use of an actual X-ray. Almost everyone in the book is smiling (the exceptions being a nervous child on the “questions” page and the one who has a canker sore, or “ulcer”), but the book seeks to offer plenty of knowledge as well as comfort. Grades K-3. --Abby Nolan
