Product Description:
 
What do you do when you lose a tooth? Do you put it under your pillow and wait for the tooth fairy? Not if you live in Botswana! In Botswana, children throw their teeth onto the roof. In Afghanistan they drop their teeth down mouse holes, and in Egypt they fling their teeth at the sun! Travel around the world and discover the surprising things children do when they lose a tooth. Selby B. Beeler spent years collecting traditions from every corner of the globe for this whimsical book, and illustrator G. Brian Karas adds to the fun, filling every page with humorous detail. He perfectly captures the excitement and pride that children experience when a tooth falls out.

This title has been selected as a Common Core Text Exemplar (Grades 2-3, Informational Texts)

5.0 out of 5 stars.  Cute traditions from around the world, March 04, 2016
By Holly
I bought this book after my daughter read it at school. She was curious about the tooth fairy traditions around the world. Her class only read a few so it was fun to read all of the stories together. We even did a few of the 'activities'.

By A Customer
This book is great for showing children that traditions vary from country to country or home to home. I had all of my students go home to their parents and ask what they did with their teeth as they lost them when they were younger. It was a great addition to my family traditions lesson.

My daughter-in-law said the book was not in what she would rate good condition as it appeared to have been chewed by a toddler.
