Synopsis

The team from Countdown to Kindergarten is back with another irresistible story of childhood fears overcome. This time, advice from a "knowledgeable" second grader has the first grade worry-wart convinced that her new teacher is really a three-hundred-year old alien who steals baby teeth from her students. Which is especially worrisome since she has a secret: her first tooth is loose! A witty, and spot on depiction of first-day-of-school jitters, this clever take on losing a tooth will reassure as it amuses both children, their parents and their teachers!

Alison McGhee throws in amusing details throughout her illustrations so it's best to go through the pages with care, first reading the main text and then spotting various thought bubbles and sight gags. With each re-read you discover a joke that you missed the previouis times. So even though my daug......more
