When two baby teeth came knocking at her door, artist Inhae Lee did what anyone would do: she invited them to live with her and started photographing their hilarious, miniature antics. The resulting blog phenomenon has captivated legions of devoted fans with its refreshingly sweet sentiment and hip appeal. Featuring brand-new stories alongside classic adventures, My Milk Toof follows two baby teeth named ickle and Lardee as they navigate the pleasures and perils of being very small in a very big world. With perfect comedic timing, the photographic tales in this book explore the world from the tiny perspective of a baby tooth (or milk toof), from taking a bath to exploring the outside world. Showcasing the intricate handcrafted universe that Lee has created, My Milk Toof has a quirky appeal that speaks to all ages. Whether they're baking a cake or spending a day at the pool, these two little guys are achingly sweet—but without the cavities.

Though a little short, this book compiles some of the first year's stories, and adds some new ones. Because I've already read all of the My Milk Toof blog, I decided to read this book to my kid sister. She laughed and enjoyed it very much, and I knew right then and there it was a good addition to the library!
Because most of these comics are already familiar, Inhae changed some of the endings (ickle's milk teef growing, Lardee's introduction, etc.), and added a few new ones (ickle's introduction, indoor camping).
However, I felt that the layout of the book could use a bit of work, as I found the text sometimes too small to read. There would be one page with one gigantic picture and small text right underneath, and then another page with two smaller pictures and no text under either of them. Perhaps if the text was larger, or if the picture was smaller when there was text, that would've made it easier to follow. My sister didn't know how to read the book at first, until I pointed to the small text. "Oh!" she exclaimed. "I didn't see that!"
The back has a little more information on Inhae Lee, which I found to be most welcome; I've been wanting to know more about her for while! It's a nice, cushiony hardcover book, and a welcome volume to any milk teef fan.

I have been a fan of the Milk Teef photo blog since the beginning, checking it regularly for new updates, but I was even more excited to finally see the completed book, and actually hold it in my hands! It exceeded my expectations by far!! The imaginative, well thought-out story lines, the beautiful photographs, and the unique characters have me addicted!!! I even purchased several copies because I think it makes a great gift. I can't say enough good things about it!!!
