I am so pleased to get to review this book by a fellow blogger. I truly loved the illustrations and the unusual story. My daughter would have loved this story when she was little. I don't want to give away the story, but it is one that makes the perfect bed-time story when your child has lost his/her first tooth.
I only have one minor criticism, and this is just me. The entire book is written in poetry--that's not a problem. I have always been fascinated when people write and entire book in poetry. It is not as easy as one may think. The author definitely has the rhyming scheme going, but the lines are sometimes slightly uneven. It is perhaps that author's intent, but for me, this put a damper on my enjoyment of the book. I know it's no big deal, but you know me--I try to be honest.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

Thank you so much for posting, Ruth. I do appreciate your honesty. The rhyme scheme has been deliberate to change the monotony a bit.
