Sister Bear gets her first loose tooth--and she's looking forward to a visit from the tooth fairy! S

I wasn't sure if Brother Bear was trying to scare her about going to the dentist or just didn't think through what word he used. At the dentist, he seemed happy to be the big brother, modeling how to do it for his sister.

Dr. Bearson does an exam, fills a cavity on Brother, and gently takes out Sister's loose baby tooth. All designed to make the reader feel more at ease with going to the dentist. ( )

In the book, "The Berenstain Beras Visit the Dentist", Sister Bear has a loose tooth but is afraid to have the dentist yank it out. Sister Bear went with her family to the dentist and watched her brother go first so she could see what it was like. She noticed that the dentist had a bunch of scary tools but they ended up being harmless. Sister Bear eventually became brave enough to allow the dentist to pull her loose tooth out. The central message of this book is that although something may seem intimidating, it may not be so scary after all. Going in to a situation with a brave face, and watching someone else do something before you, could really help you overcome your fear. ( )
