Summary:
In this book, “Just Going to the Dentist”, Little Critter is told that he needs to go to the dentist for a checkup. While at the dentist, he experiences all the normal activities someone at the dentist would. Will he survive the drill though? Read “Just going to the Dentist.” I think this book is also wonderful for preschool age children. I know when I worked in the Pre-Kindergarten classroom; they loved reading books about real type places. It makes them feel safer going to their own appointments. Also, this book is a fantastic “I can read books” for children that are still beginning readers.
