Picture book written and illustrated by Lucy Cousins. Candlewick Press: Somerville, MA, 2023. Part of the “Maisy First Experiences Book” series.
Maisy’s friend Charly is going to the dentist for the first. He’s nervous, especially because he has a loose tooth. Maisy and their friends all go with him, and the dentist and dental nurse make Charly feel comfortable as they go through all of the steps in a visit to the dentist. The beloved and familiar character of Maisy will help very young children get ready for their first visit to the dentist, too.
