Tabitha’s Terrifically Tough Tooth by: Charlotte Middleton
















Ages: 4-8

Tabitha has a loose tooth. Her dad tells her that if she puts her tooth under her pillow that night, then the Tooth Fairy will take it and leaver her some money. Tabitha tries everything to make her loose tooth come out, including dancing, bouncing on a trampoline, and sticking one end of her bubble gum to her tooth and the other end to the door. Her stubborn tooth just wont come out. As she is about to give up, something happens. Find out if Tabitha looses her tooth and receives a visit from the Tooth Fairy in Tabitha’s Terrifically Tough Tooth.

Children loosing their first teeth will want to read this creative book. The text provides the content, and the colorful illustrations add the excitement. Bright cartoon-like illustrations fill the pages. I like that the illustrations look like a child drew them. The colors do not stay within the black lines, and colors overlap. The text is simple with not many words on each page. The text captures the desire, determination, and disappointment that can surround the event of losing a tooth in a child’s life. Tabitha’s Terrifically Tough Tooth is a hilarious book that children and adults will enjoy.
