Yikea. Someone needs to teach these people the basics of illustration and design because this is the hottest of hot messes.

[Shari (Shira)]

Writing and illustrating books should be left to the experts. These well-intentioned dentists gave it their best effort, but this book is didactic, has awkward rhymes, and amateur illustrations.

[Victoria McDevitt]

A wonderful book to get kids introduced to the dentist and help ease their fears! Very well-written so it is enjoyable for adults to read too! I’ve given it to my nieces and nephews when their time comes to start visiting the dentist and they each read it over and over.
