4. Why does his mother want Wilbur to go to the dentist? A. Wilbur’s tusk hurts. B. Wilbur’s foot hurts. C. Wilbur’s nose hurts.

5. WAY TO GO!!!

6. Good try, but a better answer would have been: Wilbur’s tusk hurts.

7. “My tusk only hurts when I crunch,” said Wilbur. “If I take off the shells, I can just slurp them.” “Have some seaweed,” said Mrs. Walrus. “It’s nice and soft.” “Ugh!” said Wilbur. “I don’t want to eat seaweed. It’s green and slimy.” “Then you’ll have to go to the dentist,” said Mrs. Walrus. “I don’t want to go to the dentist,” said Wilbur.

8. What were the Walrus’ eating? A. Seaweed B. McDonald’s C. Turtles

11. Wilbur’s friends were tusk wrestling. Wilbur loved tusk wrestling. He locked tusks with his friend Walter. “Owww!” yelled Wilbur. “My tusk hurts!” “You’ll have to go to the dentist,” Walter said. “I don’t want to go to the dentist,” said Wilbur. “My tusk only hurts when I wrestle,” said Wilbur. “Let’s play on the ice slide with Wanda.” Wanda, Wilbur, and Walter swooped down the slide. SPLASH! They somersaulted into the sea. “That was great! Let’s do it again!” Walter said.

Wilbur poked his tusks into the ice and… “Owww!” yelled Wilbur. “My tusk hurts!” “You’ll have to go to the dentist,” Wanda said. “I don’t want to go to the dentist,” said Wilbur. “I’ll swim to Grandpa’s,” Wilbur said. “It’s easy to get our there.

19. “Tsk-tsk,” said Grandpa. He put his flipper around Wilbur’s shoulders and helped him up onto the ice floe. “What is the matter?” “My tusk hurts,” Wilbur wailed. His whiskers quivered. “You’ll have to go to the dentist,” Grandpa said. “I don’t want to go to the dentist,” said Wilbur. Grandpa smiled. “Neither did I,” he said. Grandpa’s tooth was missing! Mrs. Walrus waddled up the landing slope toward them. “Walter and Wanda said I’d find you here,” she said. “Is your tusk still hurting?” “Yes,” said Wilbur. “I’ll have to go to the dentist!” “Finally!” said Mrs. Walrus.

20. Why do you think Wilbur finally decided to go to the dentist? B. The dentist called him and asked Wilbur to come. C. He saw his grandpa lost a tooth when he didn’t go to the dentist. A. His mother made him go because Wilbur wasn’t listening.

22. Eventually, Wilbur decided to do the right thing. He made the choice on his own with his Grandpa’s help by listening to his story. His Grandpa didn’t go to the dentist when he was Wilbur’s age and now he had a chipped tooth!

23.  Dr. Tusker, the dentist, was very gentle. “I see what the problem is,” she said. “You’ve got a piece of a shell stuck in the top of your tusk. There! I’ve taken it out.” “That feels much better!” said Wilbur.  “If you brush your tusks twice a day with this special fish-flavored toothpaste, your tusks will be strong and shiny,” said Dr. Tusker. She gave Wilbur a sticker. It said: “I brush my tusks.”

24. How many times did Dr. Tusker tell Wilbur to brush his tusks a day?

25. You read so carefully!!! Good for you!!!

27. “Wow!” said Grandpa. “I wish I had tusks like yours.” “Dr. Tusker will make you a false tusk,” said Wilbur. “You’ll have to go to the dentist.” “I don’t want to go to the dentist!” said Grandpa. “Tsk-tsk,” said Wilbur. He put his flipper around Grandpa’s shoulder. “If I can go to the dentist, so can you!”

28. Do you think Wilbur was happy he went to the dentist? YES NO
