5/19/2023 0 Comments ABC Dentist by Harriet Ziefert![]() Murphy’s mixed-media collages add dimension and humor to what may become a classic prep for a visit to the dentist’s office and is a neat companion to its predecessor, 2007’s ABC Doctor. Readers also learn the names of the teeth and their components. ![]() In between, pages reveal that Saliva is watery and tasteless, but helps begin digestion, that Teeth are the hardest part of the body and that a Wad of cotton is what the dentist stuffs in the patient’s mouth when working on it. ![]() Beginning with A for Appointment, the picture book moves through the dental experience from B (Bib) and C (Cavity) to Z (a slightly cheating Zillion Times Cleaner).
