Description
A girl hopes her tooth will fall out so that she can have money to buy her father a birthday present.
Quick Summary
If you've got a kid who's just starting to lose teeth, this little story is honestly perfect. A girl gets the idea that she *wants* her loose tooth to finally fall out not because she's excited about the tooth fairy, but because she needs cash to buy her dad a birthday present, and she's got zero allowance saved up. The twist is pretty sweet: she really wants that tooth out, but it won't budge, while she's probably never noticed it before. It's got just enough tension and humor to keep emerging readers turning pages, and the heart behind the story makes it feel way more than just a "tooth book." Younger kids who are curious about losing teeth will get a kick out of it, and anyone who's ever wanted to buy something special for a parent will immediately relate. There's nothing tricky here it's just a sweet, simple story with a message about how much our kids want to do nice things for us, wrapped up in something they recognize. If your kid loved *The Tooth Book* by Dr. Seuss or other early readers about everyday kid moments, this fits right in.
