The Crocodile and the Dentist

(3) PS "I really don't want to... / but I have to," thinks a crocodile heading for his dentist's office; "I really don't want to, but I have to," thinks the dentist, readying his instruments for the croc. Likewise identical thoughts ("I'm ready for the worst!" and so on) form this comically clever appeal to consider others' feelings. Gomi's doughy-looking cartoonish illustrations are toothsome throughout.
