I love the updated illustrations and text, but I don’t like how they try to get his tooth out in unsafe ways. It teaches a bad lesson.

Mommy's review from 12/11/11 -


Julia was a fan of the Little Bear show when she was younger but we've never read many of the books. Since loose teeth are one of her favorite subjects right now I decided to borrow this when I saw it at the library.
It didn't disappoint but it's also not something I'd call a favorite.

Average but the loss of a first tooth is so exciting that pretty much any book about the subject is likely to be a hit. My top pick: One Morning in Maine by Robert McCloskey.
