Shelbo’s Adventures in Technology: A Trip to the Dentist is a very fun and informative book that is designed to help kids learn all about dentists. In the book, the titular character goes to a regular dentist appointment. The dentist’s assistant checks her teeth over and takes some x-rays, and then the dentist comes in to fill a cavity. Shelbo is nervous, but both the dentist and the assistant calmly explain everything as they are doing it, and she has a great visit.

I am a big fan of educational books, especially books that help children prepare themselves for real-life experiences. All three of my young children have been to the dentist at this point, but my youngest has only been in the waiting room so far. He is only two, so his first actual check-up is yet to come. After reading this book with him, he is pretty pumped about having his very first dentist appointment.

All of the illustrations were very colorful and fun to look at. Of course, my toddler’s favorite picture was the tooth that shows up in the background of all of the pages that have text on them. He kept asking to see another tooth when we would finish a page. My older kids liked it too, but since they’ve already gotten comfortable with the dentist, it was less impactful for them.

I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this book. It was the perfect thing to read with a little boy who is working on growing his very last baby teeth. I wholeheartedly rate Shelbo’s Adventures in Technology: A Trip to the Dentist a solid five out of five stars. If you have young children, I’d recommend picking up a copy of this book to help prepare them for a lifetime of healthy teeth!

"Shelbo's Adventures in Technology: A Visit to the Dentist" is a children's book that shows Shelbo going to the dentist and learning about the equipment used in the office, such as X-rays. The story is educational and fun, teaching about oral hygiene and professions in the dental field. Ideal for children aged 3 to 9, the book helps to overcome the fear of going to the dentist and awakens curiosity about science and technology.
