Maisy Goes To The Dentist
by Lucy Cousins

"Maisy's friend Charley has a wiggly tooth! He's going to the dentist for the first time, and he's a little nervous. Luckily, Maisy, Tallulah, Eddie, and Cyril are happy to accompany Charley to the dentist's office, where they make some fun discoveries: a twirly chair that goes up and down, a special cup to spit in, and a proper tooth-brushing demonstration. Charley gets an X-ray, a smiley button, and a book to take home, but what will happen with his wiggly tooth?"

Police in our school
by Becky Coyle

Police in Our School teaches kids about the important role their school resource officers play to protect them and their school. Becky Coyle learned firsthand how children can misunderstand officers' roles in schools through her work as an elementary school resource officer. It inspired her to create this series to explain school safety concepts to young children in a fun and engaging way. Activities and questions for further discussion are provided in the final spread.
