I'm giving this five stars because my six-year-old self absolutely LOVED this book! I was infatuated with everything about it, from the food little rabbit ate while waiting for her tooth to come out, to the way it got stuck in her chocolate ice cream, to the ideas she had of what to do with it after, to her musings about the tooth fairy and what the tooth fairy might do with the tooth. I was so delighted to find it on the shelves at the library--brought back a big ol' rush of memories!!! I'd

Little Rabbit experiences one of the common childhood rites of passage in this charming picture-book, first published in 1975, and a favorite with young readers ever since!

Wondering what she should do with the tooth - throw it away? make a necklace of it? leave it for the tooth-fairy? - she explores the options with her patient parents, who allow her to make her ow

What a shock to see this book on display at my library recently... I immediately recognized it as one of my childhood favorites! Reading this as an adult, what really strikes me about this book is the way the text and illustrations work together. There's nothing terribly fancy about it, but the book just works well.

I checked this book out of my elementary school's library over & over! The illustrations are so old looking to me now - I wonder what I saw in them! But I still love this book because it stayed with me for so long! I think I also loved it because of what she loses her tooth in...chocolate ice cream! :)

This is another rabbit story (I have a lot of these since my nickname is Bunny). It's about losing a tooth. My favorite story elements are: 1. The part where Little Rabbit thinks about what she wants to do with her tooth (one example is to take it to the store and try to use it to buy candy), 2. What Little Rabbit thinks the Tooth Fairy will do with her tooth and 3. Really anything Little Rabbit says. Her dialogue really sounds convincingly child-like to me. I wonder if they have the Tooth

Do you believe in the tooth fairy? Most little children still do and even if they straddle the fence a little, the idea of getting a present(money) for a present(tooth),regardless of who gives it) is still fun and often necessary.

"Shannon 1988." This was such a sweet book, but it totally freaked me out. Teeth in general freak me out, though.

Told you I liked bunny books as a kid. I think this was a present from the tooth fairy...

This was the first book I checked out of the library all by myself. That was 15 years ago.

There's no shortage of book written about the subject of loose teeth. It is, after all, a momentous event in the life of a child. Prior to sixteen this is THE rite of passage (and a potentially lucrative one, too!) Bate's version is adequate, it delivers the story well and the illustrations are decent. No bells and whistles but worth the time nevertheless.

I was given this as a little child with my first loose tooth. It completely counteracted any anxiety I felt about losing the tooth.

I always loved this book and I always needed some chocolate pudding when I had a loose tooth!
