Does a Tiger Open Wide? — Fred Ehrlich

Important moments in childhood are depicted lightly, but effectively, in a funny question-and-answer format.
Does a tiger go to the dentist? What about a giraffe? Everything young readers need to know to prepare for a checkup with their dentists is laid out humorously and realistically. Comparing and contrasting such outrageously silly moments as a hippo and a child saying ahhhh, the author and artist effectively capture important moments of childhood and lay the groundwork for dealing with new experiences.
