Amanda Pig and the Wiggly Tooth (Oliver and Amanda)
When Amanda discovers that she has a loose tooth, she can think of little else. She wiggles it while she climbs on the monkey bars and during math. She vacillates on the question of whether to let her father pull it out, then despairs when she literally loses it. The story expresses Amanda’s worries, fears, and curiosity with a certain wry humor that is reflected in the cheerful, intensely colorful artwork. Sure to be a favorite, this title from the Oliver and Amanda series details the ups and downs of a childhood rite of passage. Grades K-2. --Carolyn Phelan--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
