About the Book

Anton is a typical eight year old boy. He's unhappy about a pending dental appointment. He's been trading healthy food for junk food since his last dental check up and he's afraid Dr. Kelley, as well as Mom, will be upset with him. He's convinced he has a lot of cavities. He thinks about it all day and is unable to do his school work. His teacher calls Mom and Anton has to do his work at home. He struggles through it and eventually goes to bed. During the night, he screams when he dreams all his teeth have fallen out. Mom and Dad reassure him that his teeth are fine. He confesses that he has traded good food for Bobby's junk food and promises never to do it again. His appointment with Dr. Kelley goes well and he ends up being the proud possessor of a "No Cavity" certificate.
