Reviews
For every child who loses a first tooth and wonders where it goes after the tooth fairy visits, this story is sure to offer both reassurance and wonder. Talbot, the baby tooth, is very wiggly—but he’s not sure he wants to move on just yet. What will happen when he falls out? Will he get thrown away? Will he get pounced on by the cat? What if he leaves a hole in JJ’s mouth? Despite the encouraging words of the tooth fairy, Talbot holds on for as long as he can … but one day, he can’t hold on any longer. Tucked under JJ’s pillow, Talbot nearly does get caught by the cat, but soon enough the tooth fairy is back to rescue him and send him on his way to his next big adventure—he’s going to be a new star in the night sky! By giving the tooth a personality of its own (cautious but ultimately courageous), the story puts dental care into a whole new light, encouraging readers to take extra care with their own teeth. At the same time, the story helps readers work through their own anxieties, emphasizing the idea that losing a tooth is nothing to worry about. The digital artwork walks readers through the changes Talbot experiences, helping them identify his emotions and relate to them. Advice at the end of the book helps parents and teachers further support readers when they lose their own first teeth. Upbeat and encouraging, Talbot the Tooth, Just a little wiggly works on multiple levels to help children feel comfortable with the changes of growing up.
