Illustrated by
Mary O'Keefe Young.
Written by Monica Perez. George the monkey is afraid of going to the dentist. When, however, he sees an even more frightened child, he cheers the child up--and creates chaos. In the process he discovers the dentist isn't scary after all. George's romp, in this didactic and predictable story, is accompanied by cheerful watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations reminiscent of H. A. Rey's originals.
