Description

Billie has lost her first tooth. It's very small, so she has to take special care of it. She can't wait for the Tooth Fairy to come.

Quick Summary

Billie has lost her first tooth, and she is absolutely determined to keep it safe until the Tooth Fairy arrives. The problem is, her tooth is so tiny that she keeps almost losing it in her pocket, under her pillow, in the most ridiculous places and each mishap is both relatable and a little bit funny in a way that had my kids giggling. This book is perfect for kids who are right in that "losing teeth" phase themselves, or anyone who loves stories about real-life childhood milestones with a gentle sense of humor. Parents will appreciate that it captures that mix of excitement and worry kids feel when something important is out of their control, without being preachy or overly sweet. If your little reader enjoyed "The Tooth Fairy Meets the Plaque Fairy" or other early readers about growing up, this one's a great next pick short enough to finish in one sitting but memorable enough that they'll ask for it again when the tooth fairy starts making rounds at your house.
