Summary:

In this book, Little bear finds himself wiggling a loose tooth. It feels so strange! He finds all of his friends and they all cleverly attempt to find ways to get Little Bear’s tooth to fall out. That night at dinner, Little Bear eats corn on the cob! Will that help his tooth to fall out? What happens when his tooth does fall out? Read “Little Bear’s Loose Tooth.” I think that this book is perfect for preschool aged children. The illustrations add to the story and allow the reader to be transported into Little Bear’s world. In a younger age group, this book would be easily relatable to the students and they would enjoy seeing all the different things Little Bear and his friends come up with.
