Booklist
Ages 6-8. The newest title in the What to Expect Kids
series helps children and parents get through an occasionally scary
experience. Angus the Answer Dog makes another appearance, suggesting a game
or activity related to the visit (make a picture to give to the dentist),
and answering one question per page. Questions cover everything, from "Why
do I have to go to the dentist?" to "What's an X ray?" The text isn't meant
for young children as it's quite detailed, but the cartoonlike artwork and
the good advice it gives will make this an appealing book for browsing as
well as a resource for parents wanting a sensitive way to ease their child
into the dentist's chair. A note to parents precedes the text. Kathy

Book Description
Growing Up Just Got Easier...
With the help of Angus, the lovable Answer Dog, best-selling author Heidi
Murkoff extends a hand to children and parents as they tackle life's first
experiences together.
When you were growing up, chances are visiting the dentist wasn't your
favorite thing to do. Luckily for your child there have been many changes
around the dentist's office since your first visit -- changes that have made
"opening up wide" a lot less scary and a lot more fun. We're here to explain
who dentists are, what they do, why they use all those funny tools, and why
regular visits to them can mean a healthier smile, so that your child can
sit back, relax, and enjoy the checkup.
Have fun at the dentist!
