At first, Junie thinks it's a tooth witch, not a tooth fairy because what would a tooth fairy do with all the teeth? And that night she didn't put it under her pillow. The next morning, Lucille told Junie B. that the tooth fairy might collect teeth and that recess she promised one of her friends that she would put her tooth under pillow that night. I can't wait to lose a tooth and I liked this book.
When reading this book, I was flashing back to when my teacher would read chapter books out loud to us toward the end of the day. In this book, Junie B. Jones's is the first student to lose her tooth in Room One. She is terrified to leave her tooth with the tooth fairy, because she thinks its the "tooth witch". She takes her spit cup to class on Monday after the weekend and shows the children and then shows them her missing whole. Her teacher gave her a gold star for loosing her tooth....more
A hilarious book of the account of Junie B., who lost her tooth. She wonders what the tooth fairy does with the teeth she gathers. A wonderful read for children who are about to lose their first tooth, or ones who have baby brothers. Cute, creative writing style.

This is one of my favorite Junie B. Jones books. I really love the conclusion Junie B. comes to about what the tooth fairy does with all the teeth she collects from girls and boys who have lost them. I am planning on using the same reasoning with my children.
Another read with Kennadi. Kennadi was in the middle of losing her tooth when we started reading, and lost it by the time we were done! Kennadi could relate with how Junie felt and was excited that they mirrored each other, if only for a moment.

I love ALL Junie B. Jones books, but this is our family favorite. Don't miss the part about Lucille's richie Nana's "cattle-act" in Chapter 1. It's ooh-la-la good.
Junie had many worries, but once she got her tooth out, she learned a lesson. The thing I didn't like was that she bragged so much, when her tooth fell out.
HAHA. I used to love to read these books.. I thought they were so funny, and sadly I would do a little kid voice when i read them. Aww, childhood.
All of the Junie B. Jones books are amazingly amazing! In this one Junie has an adventure losing her first tooth!! OMG! :D
Wraps up a little too neatly for my taste, but it still has good bits like Junie's whacked out beliefs about the tooth fairy.
My 6 year old daughter loves the Junie B Jones series. She reads them to me before bed. We often laugh at loud together.
My son LOVED this book. We read it as part of his Book-It program at school. (The sad truth is, I liked it too!)
I read this book like 5 years ago. I just put it because I wanted to display ALL the books I've read.
I liked it because she was curious about the tooth fairy because she thought it was a tooth witch.
This is a good book for kids that are just starting to lose their teeth like 1st or 2nd grade.
this book is another one that i think is really adorable. it kinda reminds me of myself!!!
I give 1,000,000 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite part is when she lost her tooth.
If it's Junie B it has got to B good! All of the books in this series are hysterical!
I love this book because Junie.B doesn't want to lose her tooth
She gets exited when ever she starts to lose her firt tooth.
Junie B. is the first kid in her class to lose a front tooth! But what if it looks weird? And what exactly is the deal with this tooth fairy lady, anyway?
The text lies somewhere between easy reader and chapter book. The chapters are short and there are pictures every few pages to break it up; it was great for readaloud but the large typeface would also make it easy to read on one's own. Most of the kids enjoyed the humor. The only caveat with this book is that it does deal with the too...more

Junie B. has the inside story on the ‘tooth fairy’, and she resolves that she will never give ...more
I am so glad that Liz required us to read a Junie B. Jones book. It is sad, but true, that I have never read one. Junie B. is adorable, she does remind me of Ramona..Park is a good writer. In this story Junie B. is the first kid in her first grade class to loose a tooth. She is not sure about this tooth fairy business..just what does that tooth fairy do with the teeth? I will definetly introduce these books to my students ready for chapter books..even though they are already hooked..and now I ca...more
I wasn't sure that I would enjoy this book...I initially felt that Junie B. was a little rude. After reading the whole book I have a different opinion...I found that her behavior offered opportunities for discussion with Lily, which is a positive. The real reason that I ended up loving this book though is that I saw how much Lily loved it. I think that she felt that she could relate with Junie B. Also, she thought that it was really funny...she laughed and kept asking for me to read more. She ev...more
I read and own this version in Spanish. This another adventure of Junie B Jones (now in the first grade). I love the beginning when she believes she will become toothless uncle Lou so she decides that if she just stops wiggling her teeth they will never fall out and she will never look like uncle Lou. A great book for kids who want to laugh, what kid is not afraid of loosing their first tooth.

I recently read an article in the NY Times about a lot of parents being upset by the Junie B. Jones series and how Junie talks in the books is grammatically incorrect. After reading this book, I can see why some parents are upset but it's written in a way that kids talk which I think makes the book more enjoyable and more accessible to them.
