Our Review

This charming early reader tackles the universal childhood milestone of a loose tooth with gentle humor and playful curiosity. Through simple rhyming text, young children will recognize their own wiggly-tooth experiences while exploring a whimsical question: do animals face this same dental dilemma? The book cleverly weaves in a subtle science lesson by pondering the toothy situations of lions, sharks, and hippos, making the familiar feel fresh and exciting.

As a Step Into Reading book designed for first-time readers, the accessible vocabulary and rhythmic cadence build confidence and fluency. The real triumph is how it validates a child's mixed feelings—the nervousness and the pride—surrounding this important first, transforming a potentially anxious event into a shared adventure. Any child on the verge of losing a tooth will find a comforting and giggle-inducing companion in these pages.
