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)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  Folklore Fun for the Whole Family!, August 21, 2015
By ASimpleSoul
Our whole family enjoys this book! Charming illustrations bring cultural traditions from around the world to life...and smiles to all within earshot.

As parents we weren't entirely sure we wanted to push the tooth fairy on our daughter as she was more interested in keeping her tooth (for "scientific purposes" and "my memory") than anything else. Learning what other children do (or don't do) with their baby teeth was fun and enlightening for all of us...el Ratoncito Pérez was a fast favorite for all of us.

Losing a tooth is one of the many 'becoming a big kid' moments in a child's life - reading these folk traditions together as a family made it less bitter and more sweet.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  Great window into other cultures!, June 27, 2015
By M Smith
This is a very unique book that tells about the traditions for losing teeth in lots of different countries. It is very educational not only geography-wise, but also anatomy-wise as it discusses parts of the tooth and the different names of teeth in the back of the book. My daughter, who is 6 and can't wait to lose teeth, loved it and is deciding which tradition she wants to do when she loses teeth.
