Book Review + Giveaway: The Dolphin Dentist

 

Title: The Dolphin Dentist: No Sharks Allowed | Author: Cheryl DaVeiga | Illustrator: Luis Peres | Genre: Picture Book | Publisher: Waterhole Productions LLC | Release Date: November 2023

Book Description:

A “Fin-tastic” adventure Like No Other!

Fearless Flossy, a mighty great white shark, has a secret—she’s terrified of going to the dentist. Dr. Dribble, the big-hearted dolphin dentist, has a jaw-dropping fear of his own, and a strict “No Sharks Allowed” policy. When Fearless Flossy makes an unannounced visit to Dr. Dribble’s office, it’s the start of an underwater adventure like no other! This ‘fin-tastic’ story is must-read for kids and parents alike. Young readers will be immersed in a tale of courage, compassion, and conquering fear, while giggling and cheering for these unlikely friends along the way.

Dive in with a big Biff Bam Booza smile.
My Thoughts: In this creative undersea adventure, Flossy, the most fearsome shark in the sea has a fear of her own that many children can relate to — going to the dentist. But since the dentist is Flossy’s favourite meal, it creates a double dose of nerves and laughs!

With loads of wordplay and wonderfully fishy language, this is a fun book to read aloud with children. The illustrations of the ocean and the story’s quirky characters are a joy to peruse and add so much fun to the text.

The message in The Dolphin Dentist is multi-layered showing fear can come from many angles and be overcome in many ways. Overall, the story is a lovely tool to address fears about going to the dentist or, more generally, how to cope with fear. This would be a great addition to a classroom or home library. (P.S. Don’t forget to brush!)
