What is Open Wide about?

Dentists, daydreams and a grizzly bear with a very sore tooth collide in this lively, humorous early reader. When a visit to the dentist sparks an extraordinary flight of imagination, ordinary toothache becomes the beginning of a wild adventure. With playful storytelling and plenty of surprises, the book turns fears about teeth and dental care into something entertaining and approachable. Young readers will enjoy the absurd situations, animal antics and energetic language as they discover that opening wide may not be so frightening after all.
