A Tooth with a Hole — Harriet Steinberg

This book is about a little boy whose name is Tim. When he complained to his mother that he had a pain in his tooth, his mother told him that he must have a cavity, and she is going to take him to the dentist. When Tim asked what is a cavity, she answered that it is a tooth that has a hole in it. He then wanted to find out if his dog or parakeet had a cavity, so he went up to them and tried to open up his dog's mouth, but could not see a hole in any of his dog's teeth. When he couldn't find a hole in his dog's teeth, he went to his parakeet and opened up the parakeet' beak. When you read this story, you will find out what he discovered about his parakeet and other animals.
