 A Cute Practice Reader, November 30, -0001

THE MISSING TOOTH is a short little book that is written at the 210 Lexile level. Which is to say that it is at the upper edge of Kindergarten, almost First Grade level.
***spoiler ALERT***
The story is about Kim who is sort of having a bad day. She wakes up late, finds a hole in her sock and trips over her cat, before losing her tooth while eating an apple at breakfast. Kim's a little worried about how she looks with the toothless gap after this-- until she meets Jan on the bus. Jan is also missing a tooth and Jan looks fine, so Kim is reassured.
The book ends with Kim waking up on time the next morning with tooth-money!!!
END OF SPOILER </spoiler>
Losing teeth is a really popular topic with kids. When mine were little they were absolutely fascinated by the whole process, and little books like this are a fun way to share their enthusiasm and get in some reading practice.
Not Pulitzer material, but a fun little book with a sense of humor.
