'An instant hit in our house, with its loveable characters, straightforward illustration and clear narrative - my 3 year old understands and loves the simple message that going to the dentist is nothing to be afraid of provided you look after your teeth - and if you eat too many sweets you reap the consequences! In fact, she has now taken to lecturing her sugar loving dad on the perils of sweet eating much to my amusement.... From an adult perspective, it could probably do with a little updating on the next reprint, for example, dentists give out stickers not badges these days, and the dental advice given (only brushing twice a day) probably needs reviewing to make sure it is still current. Also thought that maybe some of the information was superfluous - does a young child really need a long winded explanation of disclosing tablets? Or need to know about fluoride? However the target age is slightly older than my daughter, so perhaps this info more appropriate for the older child. Personally, I''d rather skip this bit and have a book a couple of pages shorter. Hence only 4 stars, but lovely to know that Topsy and Tim are still as loved as they were when I was a child.'
