This was not a success for me. There are two basic illogicalities in the plot which bothered me; why would a sneeze wedge you into a dentist's chair? Surely you would sneeze yourself out of it? And why would a rope round your middle help to pull a bad tooth out? I am also very tired of the enormous turnip format (except in The Enormous Turnip, of course) in which everyone pulls and pulls and pulls and suddenly . . . POP! etc., etc. Too predictable, too unlikely. Nice illustrations though.
