Pacey The Potto

SO... WHAT IS A POTTO?

Imagine a small, fluffy animal that looks a bit like a teddy bear, called a potto. It has big, round eyes that help it see in the dark, and it's usually awake at night, which means it's nocturnal. The potto has a short, fuzzy tail and it moves very slowly in the trees of the rainforest where it lives. Its fur is thick and soft, mostly brown or gray, which helps it hide among the branches. The potto is a shy creature and likes to spend most of its time alone, munching on fruits, insects, and sometimes small animals. It has special hands and feet that grip tightly to branches, so it can hang upside down like a little acrobat!

Today, little Pacey hears the five words he dreads the most. "Let's go to the dentist." The boy absolutely doesn't want to go, but after sitting in the chair and meeting Dr. Dennis, an incredible thing happens. He introduces him to his friends, Mr. Whistle and Mr. Bumpy, and the three of them go to work. In just a bit, little Pacey's sugar bugs are flying all around, hiding everywhere except in between his teeth.This exciting rhyming story will entertain a wide range of young audiences and teach them to take good care of their teeth. In addition, they will learn that going to the dentist isn't scary and can be a fun experience.

In "Pacey Loses a Tooth," we follow the adventurous day of Pacey the Potto, filled with fun, friends, and a little accident. While playing jump rope, Pacey stumbles and discovers he has chipped a tooth. The story leads us to Dr. Dennis's clinic, a place of comfort and joy, where Pacey learns about the Tooth Fairy and the wonders of losing a tooth. Dr. Dennis, with his tools Mr. Pusher and Tooth Hugger, ensures Pacey's experience is gentle and educational. The book weaves tale of anticipation and magic, as Pacey imagines what the Tooth Fairy might bring him. This rhyming story not only entertains but also demystifies dental visits and celebrates the milestone of losing baby teeth, encouraging children to view dental care and changes as positive experiences.
