I Lost My Tooth! by Mo Willems - ADVISABLE


I Lost My Tooth! By Mo Willems.  EARLY READER  Hyperion Books (Disney), 2018.  $13.  9781368024570  

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE  

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Zoom Squirrel looses his front tooth and all of his squirrel friends panic.  His friends advise him on how not to loose his teeth in the future (including put a leash on it) and are thrown further into a panic when Zoom tells them it was a baby tooth.  Eventually Zoom finds his own tooth and the other squirrels dote over the baby tooth.  There are extra sections in this book that include jokes and facts about teeth.  

Mo Willems is great at writing simply worded books that entertain young readers, and this is no exception.  The funny illustrations with the panicky squirrels adds to the story and keeps the reader's attention.   If you have readers who enjoy Elephant and Piggie early readers, then they will enjoy this as well.  

Reviewer, C. Peterson
