I like the main character Oliver - because he is determined to choose his dream job, also because he is silly and keeps dozing off!

I enjoyed reading this book and learning more about what dentists do and the comedy side to the story. I would recommend this book to my friends.

I had a wobbly tooth when I read it and didn’t like when he pulled his sisters tooth out.

Oliver was awesome and worked very hard to be the best dentist in the world. He was very funny because he put the wrong teeth in the wrong mouths!!! The story was funny and enjoyable

It was really really really really really really good. I liked the bit where the teeth were the wrong way round. I would not like Oliver to be my dentist! I like the sound of being a dentist when I am older, I could polish people's teeth very nicely!

I like that he got the teeth the wrong way around

This book was really weird because it related to a dentist and when it came to the part about the sister having a wobbly tooth the brother/dentist pulled out the wrong tooth. My favourite part of the book was when he fell fast asleep after working hard all day and night. This is a fiction story and the dentist was my favourite character because he was very funny. I would recommend the story even though it grossed me out.

I liked this book because there's a disastrous dentist and he's the best dentist. It's funny at the end that the pony's teeth end up in the princess's teeth and vice versa.

I liked the bit at the end when he put the wrong teeth in. The person i liked was Oliver. Yes my friends should read this because he wanted to be something that was a doctor and a vet
