Written by Monica Perez. George the monkey is afraid of going to the dentist. When, however, he sees an even more frightened child, he cheers the child up--and creates chaos. In the process he discovers the dentist isn't scary after all. George's romp, in this didactic and predictable story, is accompanied by cheerful watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations reminiscent of H. A. Rey's originals.

When George bites into a shiny apple made of wax, his tooth begins to hurt. The next morning George shows his wiggly tooth to the man with the yellow hat, who takes him to the dentist. George is nervous about his first visit to the dentist, but overcomes his fear and learns about better dental hygiene--with a little good-natured mayhem on the side! With art in the style of H. A. Rey, this engaging story will teach young readers that there is nothing scary about the dentist or wobbly teeth--and adds some tooth fairy fun for good measure!
