Maisy, Charley, and the Wobbly Tooth tells about a trip to the dentist that Maisy mouse's friend, Charley the crocodile, makes for his loose tooth. Since he is nervous, Maisy and other animal friends accompany Charley to make the visit less intimidating and to support him.
I think that this book by Lucy Cousins is a great way to tell about a given theme (dentist's/ doctor's visits) because it involves an experience that all people have at some point in their life. Especially for a young age group of readers, this playful story makes it less intimidating and more approachable for them to understand such situations. Cousins's consideration for her audience is something that marks and sets her stories apart from other authors. Since she is aiming to please young readers, writing about experiences that they will encounter and undergo it is a great way to engage and empathize with the reader.

This book is about a first trip to the dentist. It describes the step that go with going to visit the dentist. ( )
