This little traditional Ladybird-sized book is easily handled, but there are also other editions of the book available. The ever-popular Topsy and Tim are having their teeth checked, and we see the big chair in some detail, the dentist with her mask on, and some of the big equipment. Topsy must have a filling, and my one quibble with an otherwise excellent preparation story is that there is no mention of an injection or pain killer, and Topsy announces the drill was noisy but didn't hurt. Mrs Berry, the dentist, talks to the children about what they should eat, and then they are off to the chemist to buy new toothbrushes and disclosing tablets. Kids love Topsy and Tim, and one can see why. Bright and cheerful, they relay information in story form that is very accessible.
