In this book, Sara's tooth was hurting. Her papa asked her if he could take it out. She knocked out a garbage can. She picked everything up and went to the garage. She found more things she needed. She made a dragon. His hurt was hurting,too. And Sara pulled the tooth out of the dragon. And she opened her mouth and her papa pulled her tooth out. I liked this book because Sara was making a craft. -by Felicity

The little girl has a sore loose tooth that she doesn't want pulled so she builds a dragon with a loose tooth. It's decent to choose to read when your child has a loose tooth but is scared to have it pulled. I like how Sara says things to her dragon that the adults say to her, like how it'll feel better when it's out.

A whiny little girl has a loose tooth that she won't let her Papa pull for her. After a snit, she grabs up some garbage and makes a pretend dragon that she pulls a loose tooth from. Only then will she condescend to having her Papa help her with her tooth.

Illustrations are nothing special.

Colorful presentation of the pain and fear of having a loose tooth and not wanting it pulled! It hurts like a dragon!!
Great to use to help give youngsters ideas about how to be creative with "trash"!
