Publisher’s Book Summary: Find out where the tooth fairy takes all those lost teeth in this laugh-out-loud new picture book, perfect for fans of School’s First Day of School.

Toothy lives in Liam’s mouth next to his best friend Fang. He’s a good tooth—sparkly and strong, and he loves doing the floss.

One day, Toothy notices that he is loose and panics! Where will he go after he leaves his comfy spot next to Fang? After a crunchy apple seals the deal, Toothy is tucked under Liam’s pillow. When the Tooth Fairy appears, she takes Toothy to the Museum of Lost Teeth. It’s a more incredible place than Toothy could have ever imagined. It’s filled with new friends and fun activities like Tooth or Dare! Toothy finds a new home on the Firsts Floor, where first baby teeth are proudly displayed.

In the tradition of School’s First Day of School, The Museum of Lost Teeth answers the question “Where do all the lost teeth go?” in this unexpected and hilarious picture book.

REVIEW

The Museum of Lost Teeth is a fun story that instantly became a classic in our home. My kids (age 7 and 4) loved hearing the story. They asked for it to be read to them over and over again. I love books that my kids gravitate towards and want to listen to. I think it helps build a love of learning and reading. The story is easy and fun to read out loud. The story answers the age-old question of what the tooth fairy does with all the teeth she collects. The story is imaginative and told in an entertaining voice. I felt like the author did a good job with the story and it's also very different from the other books on the market about losing your first tooth.  Kids will be drawn to finding out what the tooth fairy does with the teeth she collects and the attractive illustrations. The story is fun and written in a way that kids will find engaging and entertaining. The illustrations are vibrant, visually pleasing, and detailed. You could tell that the illustrator put a lot of thought and care into the designs. This is a book that could easily become a favorite at home, could be read out loud in a classroom, or in a library story time setting. I would highly recommend getting this book!
