Author Shirly R.L. and Illustrator Anahit Aleksanyan continue to create stories about an adorable little girl named Annie whose crowning feature is a head of curls. With wise writing and beautiful illustrations they offer a story that is not only fun for children (especially little girls who worry about such things) but also that has some very wise lessons.Our curly headed little Annie skips to kindergarten where she sees her friend Danny - but Danny looks different and he points to his missing tooth! Inquisitive, Annie asks about the process of a tooth becoming loose and falling out, but also discovers the tooth fairy story. Envying Danny's new toy, the gift of the tooth fairy, she ponders how to loose a tooth. She has always heard her mother say that too many sweets aren't good for the teeth. But determined Annie keeps eating and accepting sweets and ends up with a sore tummy, and lost her preference for sweets, preferring fruits and vegetables that gave her energy. Annie's mother gives her a good biology lesson about sweets and tummies and teeth  and advises her that too many sweets make rotten teeth and that possibly the tooth fairy wouldn't like rotten teeth!  Annie adopts good dental hygiene and much to her happiness, she looses a tooth - and of course the tooth fairy rewards her with a present!This is yet another fine little bedtime story book that teaches many lessons - this one emphasizing dental care - but in a very fun and colorful way! Parents alert - Trust Annie books for entertaining and teaching lessons to your children. Grady Harp, August 13
