On her first visit to the dentist, Vera is very brave until the whirring teeth-cleaning machine sends her sprinting out the door. This fourth book starring the feisty heroine and her family will appeal to Vera fans. The text takes readers step by step through the experience and may help children calm their own fears about routine dental visits. Rosenberry's lively gouache illustrations add humor to the presentation.
