Just Going To The Dentist


I read the children’s book called, ‘Just Going to The Dentist.’

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Mercer Mayer.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book about little critter’s first time at the dentist.

When little critter goes to the dentist for a check-up on his teeth, he finds that not all his teeth are perfect; one tooth has a cavity.

This is the ideal children’s picture book to read to young children before they experience their first visit to the dentist.

In an animated way it shows what happens at the dentist, diluting any fear of the unknown.

With the focal point being the dentist’s chair, and with the drill and gadgets on display it’s understandable that the little critter views the room as a “Weird room like a spaceship.”

So, why not familiarise your child with the dentist by reading this book or watching the video on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

It’s a great book for young children.

Why Was The Little Critter So Mad?

I read the children’s book called, ‘I Was So Mad.’

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Mercer Meyer.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of the little critter who gets really mad.

The little critter is fed-up with his family as they wouldn’t let him do anything.

They wouldn’t let him play with his sister’s dolls house, or put frogs in the bath or even paint the house.

He didn’t want to play in the sand-pit or go on the slide. He was mad.

He was so mad that he decided to run away, after packing his toys and some cookies to eat on the way, he left.

Outside he saw his friends, they were going to the park to play.

Hmm, what will little critter do next?

Will he still runaway or go to the park with his friends?

What do you think?

A lovely book, it reminds me of little ones that get in a huff if they can’t get what they want, personally I think they do it just to annoy parents.

So, why not read the book or watch it on YouTube then you can tell me what you think?

It’s a great book for young children, they’ll like it.

Just My Friend And Me

I read the children’s book, “Just My Friend and Me.”

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Mercer Mayer.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a little critter that invites his friend over for the day. He hoped to have fun with his friend playing different things together, but it doesn’t work out well as his friend has an accident with the little critters new bike.

As I read this book, I realised how one-sided this friendship really was. The little critter was kind, whereas his friend took advantage of him and misused all of his toys.

In fact I’d say he was more of a bully than a friend. I’m sure we all know one of these!

If I was the little critter I wouldn’t be his friend anymore but is it as simple as this for a child today?

Do they understand what a good friend is or are they just happy to settle for any child who will play with them?

I’d recommend reading this book to all children. It’s a great way to interact with your child and find out if they have a friend like the little critters.

So read the book or listen to the story on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.
