My book is called Hercules Doesn’t Pull Teeth. The author is Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones. The illustrator is John Steven Gurney. It is one of the books in the series “The Adventures of The Bailey School Kids”. I have read a lot of books in this series, such as Frankstien doesn’t start food fights, and Vampires don’t play kickball. These books are brilliant!
This book is about the Bailey School Kids Liza, Eddie, Howie, and Melody. They meet a new dentist Dr. Herb. The old dentist Dr. Zeus quitted his job and left his son Dr. Herb to do it. This is similar to my life because every year I get a new teacher and the old ones teach someone else.
Dr. Herb looks very strong, so Liza is starting to think that Dr. Herb is Hercules. This is my favorite part (read part of book and show pictures). … So the four friends spy on him. Now they agree Herb is Hercules, because -
1) His father is Zeus;
2) He’s very strong;
3) He is always looking for challenges; and
4) He lives in Olympus Lane in the city.
I learnt some Greek myth in this book … I wonder why Hercules would be a dentist.
Dr. Herb’s favorite number is 12. He likes to have 12 of everything and see people in 12 minutes. Eddie is his 12th patient. What is he going to do to Eddie? You will have to read the story to find out.
