Amanda Pig has her first ever wiggly tooth and she can’t wait for the Tooth Fairy to come. But her loose tooth will not fall out! Father offers to pull it out for her, but Amanda thinks that might hurt too much. Instead, she decides to ignore it and one day discovers that her tooth has fallen out on its own. But where is it? Will the Tooth Fairy still come if Amanda’s lost tooth is really lost? Once again, Jean Van Leeuwen and Ann Schweninger create a funny, friendly, and kid-relevant world in this latest installment of the Theodore Seuss Geisel Honor–winning Oliver and Amanda series.

Young Children Love This Series, October 26, 2013

I bought our first Oliver and Amanda book eight years ago for my then toddlers. I bought the entire series and each new release and would have purchased more if more were available. They LOVED these books and wanted to read them over and over again. I have had two more children since who love these books as much as their older siblings did. These books make your child want to sit and listen to the stories. The stories are ones that children can really relate to. I cannot recommend these books highly enough for toddler to early elementary age children.

A cute story about losing one's first tooth, January 28, 2011
By Z Hayes

My kindergartner has recently discovered the Oliver and Amanda Pig books and loves them all. This book is characterized as a Level Two reader, which is described as "reading together, short sentences, simple dialogue", although my kindergartner was able to read it by herself (until she gets tired, then we switch over to "you read one page, and I'll read the next").
The story is interesting and engages my daughter's attention. She also loves readers which are illustrated, and this book contains colorful and cute illustrations by Ann Schweninger. This story deals with Amanda Pig and her first wiggly tooth (an exciting time for any child!). Amanda looks forward to a visit from the tooth fairy, and in the meantime attempts to make her tooth fall out! I'd recommend this series to children who are beginning to develop some measure of independence in their reading and have completed the step one readers. It also makes an excellent read aloud for younger children.

I bought this book because my daughter had a loose tooth. She absolutely loves Amanda Pig and the Wiggley Tooth. She has read the book several times. When we go the library she looks for Amanda Pig books first. Excellent series.

This is the perfect book for the child who is anticipating the crisis of losing a first tooth!, April 24, 2009

Oh, my! When Amanda bit into her peanut butter sandwich she knew she might just get a visit from the Tooth Fairy because it was wiggle, wiggle, wiggly. She told William, Lollipop, Sam and anyone who would listen including her music teacher (who told her to sing). She wiggled her tooth when she jumped rope. She wiggled it on the monkey bars. It wasn't coming out.
Mrs. Mary Ann Pig, her teacher told her the Tooth Fairy would soon come to her house, but in the meantime Amanda had to do her reading and math. That wiggle, wiggle, wiggly tooth was the first one she ever had that was loose. When she arrived home, Mother and Father took a peek at it . . . maybe the tooth would have to be pulled out. Oh, no! Now "having a loose tooth wasn't fun anymore." All of a sudden Amanda realized her tooth was missing. Oh, my! Without that tooth, the Tooth Fairy wouldn't pay her a visit!
This Level 2, easy-to-read Amanda and Oliver Pig book is a fun book to read to or with the child who might be anticipating the crisis of losing his or her first tooth. Ann Schweninger's illustrations are charming and delightful. And anyone who's had a chance to meet Amanda will want to visit with her again!
