 If you've got a youngster who is anxiously awaiting a visit from the tooth fairy this is one you might want to consider!, June 24, 2009

Lucy was getting really disgusted. Mr. Reilly had a "Who's Lost a Tooth" calendar and she wasn't even close to writing on it. She was sure to be the only West Street Elementary second grader not to lose one during the year. She didn't even have any loose ones. Eduardo, who sat next to her, lost seven. That was totally unfair. She could do all kinds of things the other kids couldn't do, but losing a tooth was not one of them. Heck, she could even spell Tyrannosaurus Rex and that was pretty good for a "second grader in Room 19." Maybe even Mr. Reilly would have trouble with that spelling!
Charlie was the first one to lose a tooth and he got to write on the calendar. "Charlie-August 30th, 10:50 a.m. going to gym." It was very important to know all those facts. Vijay, Patty, Clair, Henry, Juan, Tuck, Louise and Same all got to record on the tooth calendar. Mr. Reilly had "Tooth Math" and "Tooth Stories." The whole thing was getting very upsetting. Everyone had at least a loose tooth, but not Lucy. It wasn't until February that she found a loose one during the Parade of the Presidents. When she finally was able to write on the "Who's Lost a Tooth Calendar" she was going to have the best story of all. It was going to be a doozy!
Every child gets a little anxious over losing teeth and wiggles, taps and pokes at them hoping they'll come out soon. This story is very well written, fun and eases the stress that any child might have over not losing their teeth when the other children do. The book also emphasizes the importance of the second-grade skills of "knowing the date, telling time and sharing stories." If you've got a youngster who is anxiously awaiting a visit from the tooth fairy this is one you might want to consider!
