Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2–The Little Princess is proud of her 20 straight, white royal teeth. She takes good care of them by brushing regularly and eating the right foods. Everything is going smoothly until the morning she notices that one of them is wobbly. As the days go by, the royal tooth wiggles more and more, a situation that the Little Princess comes to enjoy. Then, it disappears and she wants it back, and she wants it NOW! Everyone in the castle hunts high and low for the lost tooth until the Little Princess makes a most unusual discovery that leads to a funny ending. The lighthearted text is highlighted with Ross's bright, pastel watercolor-and-ink illustrations. The comic pictures show the Little Princess's tabby cat and teddy bear sharing her emotional ups and downs. A good-humored and different take on a common childhood experience.–Linda Staskus, Parma Regional Library, OH

"...lighthearted text is highlighted with Ross's bright, pastel watercolor-and-ink illustrations...A good-humored...different take on a common childhood experience." -- School Library Journal, October 1, 2005

"The author shows the humor in losing a tooth. The colorful, cheery illustrations are lively, not to mention funny and perfect for this story. This book is full of child-appeal. Even though the Little Princess is royalty, wearing a white gown and golden crown, children will see themselves in her." --Curled Up Kids

So silly!5
My 4 yr. old made us read this 100 times until she memorized it. It's a silly, exaggerated story that's loads of fun so we actually didn't mind (much). This led to her "reading" it to us several times. Now she can't wait to lose a tooth.

One negative is that the little princess does have an attitude but my dd found her funny and it didn't rub off on her in the least so we were ok with it.
