Barrett, Judi. Never Take a Shark to the Dentist (and other things not to do). Atheneum Books for Young Readers: 2008. ISBN: 9781416907244.
Never Take a Shark to the Dentist read aloud is lighthearted and wacky and is sure to make kids giggle. The story is playful yet serious because it portrays animals doing humanlike activities. Young children know there is a list of things they should never do and are sure to get a kick out of the no-no’s in this story such as “never holding hands with a lobster”. The repetitive nature of this book is sure to appeal to young, new readers who are just learning to read. It has a two-page spread with a simple line of text on a white background on one page with humorous acrylic paintings on the other. The bright pictures stand out with the stark white borders that surround them. This child-friendly story has an unforeseen happy twist at the end that will put a smile on your child’s face. It is sure to be a charming bedtime favorite for any young child!
