Book Reviews of Little Rabbit's Loose Tooth
Book Review: Wonderful book that allows your child to think above and beyond the narrowness of traditional tooth fairy storytelling.
Summary: 5 Stars
Our copy is an original one (absolutely charming drawings which I wish they'd kept in the newer edition) and it is my three-year-old daughter's favorite book even though she is nowhere near losing a tooth anytime soon.
I love this book because the author doesn't want to lead the child in any one direction. Rather, she wants the child to think for him/herself whether they believe in the tooth fairy or not... and what to do with the tooth.
Baby rabbit has a few ideas for what the tooth fairy does with her tooth. She thinks up three scenarios (all of which my daughter thinks are "silly"):
1) "'I think she will save my tooth and give it to a baby rabbit that was just born, and that's how little baby rabbits get their teeth. Do you think that, Daddy?'"
2) "'Or,' said Little Rabbit, 'I think she will put my tooth up in the sky because it is such a shiny tooth, and that's how starts get made. Do you think that, Daddy?'"
3)"'Really,' said Little Rabbit, 'I think she says a magic spell and she turns the tooth into a penny...'"
Ultimately, Little Rabbit asks her mother to "sneak" something under her pillow in case the tooth fairy doesn't - but not to tell her whether she did or not.
The next morning Little Rabbit wakes up and...
I absolutely love this book; it will be one of the very few books that I'll keep for my daughter. And by the way, my daughter's belief in the tooth fairy is not diminished in the slightest.
Summary of Little Rabbit's Loose Tooth
Illus. in color. "Delightfully familiar family dialogue surrounds the momentous loss of a first tooth by a rabbit girl. Large-scale three-color drawings depict the same warm, homey details lodged in the text and clinch the book's sure appeal."--(starred) Booklist.Rabbits Books
