How the first page could read

“Teddy is coming with me,” said your child, tucking their soft, floppy friend under one arm. Outside, the pavement was still shiny from the morning rain. At the dentist’s door, your child gave Teddy a squeeze. “We can sit together while the dentist counts our teeth.”

Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.

Why this story works

At two to four, a visit can feel full of unfamiliar sounds, chairs and grown-up words. This story gives your child a small, familiar job: looking after Teddy while both friends meet the dentist. The playful tooth-counting scene makes room for simple observations: waiting, sitting in the chair and opening wide. It lets a parent pause on each step and invite your child to show what Teddy might do. Because the child is pictured alongside their own soft toy, the book can become a gentle read before an appointment or in the waiting room.

Reading it together

• Read the story together before the appointment and pause to ask your child what Teddy might be thinking on each page.
• Bring the same teddy or soft toy to the appointment so your child can copy the story’s familiar detail.
• Let your child turn the pages and practise saying simple parts of the story, such as “Teddy sits with me.”

Suggested art style: Storybook watercolour

Soft watercolour scenes keep the hometown dentist visit warm, clear and familiar for young children. A sidekick idea: Teddy, a soft floppy bear. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.
