Does a crocodile go to the dentist? Do giraffes get cavities? Do you? Let's think about it! Each book in the 12-book Think About... series opens with a helpful letter to parents explaining ways to use the material in the books with their kids. Does a Tiger Go to the Dentist? explores and explains why animals in the wild don\'t go to dentists. A funny, kid-like question (\"Does a giraffe go to the dentist?\") is shown with a silly scenario (a dentist up on a ladder trying to examine a giraffe\'s teeth), and a few thoughts about why most animals\' physiology and habits aren\'t compatible with dental services. This leads into an exploration of how humans take care of their teeth and what specific services dentists provide to help fix and maintain teeth. A final spread offers activities that further extend a child\'s grasp of the featured topic. Humorous, entertaining, smart: Highly-praised for engaging kids with a spot-on mix of silly and smart. An insightful approach: By contrasting the behavior of people and animals, the series helps young children understand what makes humans, and themselves, unique. Common Core Compatible: Exactly on-point with the Common Core\'s emphasis on compare-and-contrast; includes activities and discussion points for kids, parents, and teachers that further extend each topic\'s range and application. \"[Offers] a reassuring [and] humorous
