Review

This is about a boy, Alfie, that's terrified of the dentist so never wants to go. Unfortunately, his teeth are rotting so something has to be done about it. The new dentist in town is totally game for taking care of them. But, she is not the dentist she seems as Alfie is about to find out. This book is full of great illustrations that capture the evilness of the dentist but still manage to get across a bit of humor. The story itself is full of crazy scenes and unbelievable stuff but it just makes the scary parts silly so they aren't quite so scary. This would be a good choice for reader that like illustrated books with a bit of slapstick comedy.

Overall Book Score: very good
