School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 2-This beginning reader captures perfectly the excitement and anxiety of a typical childhood occurrence. One day at lunch, Amanda Pig discovers her tooth is loose. First, she shows it to everyone. Then she wiggles it to distraction during class. When Oliver tells her it will hurt and bleed, she refuses to let their father pull it out. Finally, she stops paying attention to it, and the tooth falls out on its own and is lost. Oliver helps her find it and she is able to put it under her pillow for the Tooth Fairy. In the morning, she finds money and a note and discovers that she has another loose tooth. The illustrations are fun, showing a very pink Amanda Pig with bows around her ears wiggling her tooth while jumping rope and drawing it in art class. Of course, the final pictures show a triumphant gap-toothed smile. A great addition to the series.-Kelly Roth, Bartow County Public Library, Cartersville, GA (c) Copyright 2010.
