Review

When Clark the Shark gets whacked in the mouth while playing reef soccer, he has to make his first trip to the dentist. He has a wobbly tooth that needs attention. Clark the Shark doesn't even know what a dentist is and when he finds out he is frightened. How will it go? Will it hurt? Are dentists really scary and mean as Billy-Ray Ray tells him? Children who are trepidatious about visiting the dentist will be soothed by this adorable story with its amusing and expressive illustrations. Amazing shark tooth facts are included at the end of the book. Consider adding this one to your beginner reader collection.

Overall Book Score: good
