I would read this book to anyone from kindergarten to second grade. This book is about how a young girl wishes to lose one of her teeth. I think its a great book to show students that its ok to have gaps because of a lost tooth. It might even make a child feel comfortable about a lose tooth. This book reminds me about being anxious of losing a tooth so that i can leave it to the tooth fairy.

This book was a lower leveled book for second grade. It's a book about growing up and how we lose our teeth. There were great examples of adverbs in this book. This is also a "chapter book" with three chapters. I use quotations because each chapter was about 4 pages. Good introduction to what a chapter book looks like and how we read them.

A plain little story for grade schoolers. It'll probably be good for children with this problem -- slow teeth. But one part bugs me. In the exact illustration where Molly loses her tooth, she's grinning with no missing teeth. I hate lazy illustrations like that, illustrations that don't actually make sense. Nobody noticed before printing this book? It just seems careless.
