In Vampire Dentist, even monsters are scared to go to the dentist! When Louie the vampire complains about a toothache, his butler insists he see a dentist. At first, Louie refuses, but when he finds out he can't have any Halloween candy if he doesn't go, he faces his fears. This is a great choice for the Halloween season: a fun story with silly cartoons, and a dilemma students will understand.
