Open Wide! (Hardcover, illustrated edition)

Sam does not like going to the dentist, but then, who does? Dr. Murgatroyd, the dentist, explains to the unbudging Sam, who is hiding under the dentist chair, that he has had to treat many a nervous, and peculiar, patient before. There's been a hippo with a toothache; a beaver who just couldn't stop nibbling; and a crocodile with a whole mouthful of surprises! Before you know it, Sam's mouth is open wide, his fear replaced with laughter, and parents and children have been shown a new and humorous approach to dealing with new experiences.
