Cousin Ruth's tooth vanishes, sending the Fister family and a helpful Queen scrambling to locate it. Their frantic search sweeps through every imaginable spot in a lively, rhyming adventure. In the end, Ruth and her unexpected ally uncover the missing tooth, solving the mystery with a funny twist.

Quick Summary

From the moment Cousin Ruth wiggles her first loose tooth, the whole Fister family erupts in a goofy flurry of excitement, worry, and silly mishaps that will have early readers giggling. The story keeps things light and simple with short sentences and a warm, humorous tone, making it perfect for kids who are just starting to read on their own or for those who love a good tooth-fairy adventure. Parents will appreciate that there's nothing scary just a lot of love and a little bit of panic over where that tiny tooth might end up. With its tiny word count, large print, and fast pace, the book is a great pick for reluctant readers who want a sense of accomplishment in just one sitting. If you've already enjoyed "The Berenstain Bears and the Tooth Fairy," you'll find a similar playful vibe here, but with a fun family twist that feels fresh.
