Little Rabbit's Loose Tooth

by Lucy Bate

Overview

Children are sure to relate to this story of losing one's first tooth!

What should Little Rabbit do with her loose tooth when it comes out in a dish of chocolate ice cream? Throw it away? Wear it on a necklace? Draw stars around it and hang it on the wall? Or leave it under her pillow for the tooth fairy?

Little Rabbit solves her dilemma in this gentle classic that captures all the excitement of losing a first tooth. 


"Delightfully familiar family dialogue surrounds the momentous loss of a first tooth by a rabbit girl. Large-scale three-color drawings depict the same warm, homey details lodged in the text and clinch the book's sure appeal." —Booklist, Starred

Editorial Reviews

In Little Rabbit's Loose Tooth by Lucy Bate, illus. by Diane DeGroat, originally published in 1975, readers follow the title heroine through the week, as she tries to eat the hard things (like carrots and cucumbers) with her other teeth, and soft things (like vanilla pudding and chocolate ice cream) with her loose tooth-until it comes out. Then she imagines what the tooth fairy does with it. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
