This is the story of Alfie who is being raised by his father. Alfie's father is quite ill so Alfie is the one taking care of his father and himself. Alfie has only been to the dentist once in his life and it wasn't a pleasant experience. In fact Alfie never brushes his teeth and he is known as the kid with rotten teeth at his school. When children begin finding bugs and other disgusting items under their pillows instead of coins from the tooth fairy Alfie and his friend Gabz try to find out what is going on in their town.
Miss Root is the new dentist in town. She visits the school and while teaching students about proper care of their teeth she is shocked at Alfie's teeth. She now wants to see Alfie in her chair ASAP. Of course Alfie does all he can to avoid her. However he is also trying to avoid the crazy social worker Winnie. Winnie isn't sure Alfie's dad is healthy enough to take proper care of Alfie. Winnie is one crazy lady who wears crazy clothes and eats all the food in Alfie's home! Alfie wonders how can he or is dad take care of each other when she is the one eating all their food.
This is one great story. It is so much fun with all the characters doing some strange and amazing things. You will be so surprised at what is happening with all the teeth from the children in this town.
Children will enjoy that there are many drawings in this story and if your child enjoys stories by Roald Dahl they will definitely enjoy this story. I am confident that your chid will want to find more books by author David Walliams. I would recommend this book as a family read together story as I know readers of all ages will love it.
After reading this story make an appointment to see your dentist. Perhaps you will want to take a copy of this book to your dentist.
Happy Daily Reading
