Customer Reviews

Great preparation for a first toddler trip to the dentist

Great book. Explains what goes on in the dental environment. We loved the bit about the chair that goes up & down!

Maisy soothes the anxious mind...

The whole Maisy series is so gentle and joyful. Charley is worried about his wobbley tooth and impending visit to the dentist, so Maisy and all his other friends go along to help him feel safe. This short book gracefully outlines what your toddler might expect to have happen at the dentist. My 2.5 year old read it the night before his first dentist visit and I think it really helped him.

Perfect for First Visit

This booked helped my 3 y.o. daughter prepare for her first dentist visit. 5 stars plus!

Gotta Love Maisy and her friends.

My 3 year old has been very hesitant about going to the dentist for the first time. I have even taken her with me a couple of times. After reading this book a couple of times she wanted to go and take her book with her. She had a great time and asked the dentist to do the things with the chair that were in the book. It was sweet. I should tell you that our whole family love Maisy and all her friends. The books are so simple and pleasing to the eye of our youngest whom is one.
