A delightful picture book that perfectly captures a child's sensitive feelings about losing too many teeth at once!!
I HIGHLY recommend this book for grades K-3 (ages 5-8) This also makes a wonderful Halloween book to add to any collection.

A pure delight, September 26, 2001
By Eve G. Anderdon

"Pumkin Smile" is a pure delight. It is the perfect book for any child with a loose tooth or an empty space waiting for a new tooth to grow in. The story is charming, the illustrations are extraordinarily fine and the design of the book is first class. Hearty cheers to all involved in bringing to the scene a book so typical of the feelings of every child.

By Midwest Book Review

Six-year-old Hannah is going through the disconcerting experience of losing he baby teeth, one after the other. At first it's fun -- until the gaps make her talk with a lisp. Besides that, her tongue sticks out! Embarrassed, Hannah decides not to smile again until her new teeth grow in. But when Halloween arrives, Hannah and her Dad figure out a clever way to turn her problem into a funny, but useful idea! Emily Chetkowski's endearing and lively Pumpkins Smile is enhanced with the artistry of Dawn Peterson resulting in an enthusiastically recommended picturebook story for young readers.

"Pumpkin Smile" made me smile..., August 31, 2001
By Kindle Customer
|

...tho not a matching smile! I'm too old for that. But, this is a wonderful story about a little girl who is feeling insecure about her looks as she loses her baby teeth and before her second teeth come in. What a delightful way to improve self esteem at such a tender moment; create a matching smile on a Halloween pumpkin! The emotions of Hannah are captured beautifully in the illustrations, which carry us through Hannah's difficult days straight into the next year with the pumpkin being placed in a compost heap and regenerating in time for the next year's child in need of a Pumpkin Smile. Read this to your children and grandchildren - they'll love the rhyme and you'll enjoy the lithping, too.

Losing teeth!, August 15, 2001
By Nancy Jensen and Karin Sammons
|
|
This clever book deals With how a girl feels When she talks and looks different from before.
At first she's distraught, (Misses out on a lot), 'Cause her smile brings pleasure no more.
When October arrives Her dad really strives To give her a lot of assurance.
With her pumpkin face She wins first place And regains her old confidence.
Together, Chetkowski and Peterson have created a delightful book. Chetkowski tells the true story of Hannah, age 6, losing teeth. Peterson complements the story with her warm and detailed illustrations. Children who have lost teeth or are about to lose them can relate to Hannah and her feelings of self-consciousness. Teachers of pre-school to first grade children will enjoy reading this book aloud in the Fall. The rhyming pattern and pumpkin carvings will capture the young audience's attention.
