"Good
morning Sam," said Mr Murgatroyd, the dentist.
Sam looked at the bright light overhead...
the funny chair that looked like it
might close on you with a snap...
and the tray of pointy metal
things on the little table.
Sam
felt Dad let go of his arm. Now was
his chance. Sam made a dash for it...
"What's
the biggest animal
you've ever looked at?" said Sam.
"A humpback whale," said Mr Murgatroyd.
"He had been set upon by a pack of
hammerhead
sharks. They had
bashed
big holes in his teeth
he
couldn't eat properly. It was
a
sorry business. I bent so
many
tools fixing them I
many
ols fixing them
show
you?"
"This beautifully illustrated book would be a welcome addition to any nursery or early years library."
NOMINATED FOR THE RED HOUSE CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD 2005
"Wonderfully funny. Tom Barber has created in Mr Murgatroyd
a dentist every child will love."
Sam
doesn't like going to the dentist, not one little bit! But Mr Murgatroyd has
seen much trickier customers than Sam, and he distracts Sam with stories about
his more peculiar patients: a hippo with toothache; a beaver who can't stop
nibbling and a crocodile with a mouthful of surprises!
