4.0 out of 5 starsA Story Newer Readers Can Sink Their Teeth Into - a review of "My Tooth Is About To Fall Out"
By The Invisible Pam TOP 500 REVIEWER on March 14, 2006
Format: Paperback
My almost 6 y.o. daughter is really curious about this loose-tooth-falling-out business and so this book makes a good purchase (especially at these prices-lol).

In this book a little girl is waiting for her tooth to fall out. It covers all the usual lore about baby teeth, and then the end actually discusses the fact that children generally have 20 baby teeth and that they fall out when their roots shrink, making room for the adult teeth. So there is a little `science' at the end.

As for being a Level 1 reader, I have to say what I usually say, which is that Level 1's are in the eyes of the publishers. From my perspective, as a mom of a kindergarten aged child, I wouldn't suggest this book as a primer for newbie readers. For one thing there are words like: swimming, meatball, spaghetti, tongue, slides, nothing, through, behind, something, twenty, underneath, and dissolve. With contractions such as: she'll, I'm, brand-new, nothing's and there's.

That said, the pictures (which we liked btw) give such good clues that newer readers with a little experience under their belts should do alright.

Four Stars. Good story that is interesting for children. Good practice for newer readers - though not just-beginners. The pictures give lots of clues to help.

5.0 out of 5 starsgreat for beginner readers
By DD67 on November 14, 2003
Format: Paperback
This book doesn't have the best art work or the most original story, but what it does have is exactly what a beginner reader is interested in reading about. A great vocabulary builder for your beginner reader. Your 4-7 year old will ask to read this book again and again. "uh-oh! It wobbles. It wiggles. It joggles. It Jiggles. My tooth is about to fall out." The book continues with, " I hope it doesn't fall while I am playing ball or swimming in the pool." Until it finally falls out in the spaghetti and meatballs. The book continues with some fun information about why your baby teeth fall out and that " Big teeth will begin to show from under my gums, way below." Great book.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat beginning reader!
By Jennifer A. Dykstra on March 24, 2000
Format: Paperback
This book, like most of the Hello Reader books, is a wonderful introduction to reading for young children. As a teacher of young children, I know how important it is to offer children books with short, repetitive words that they will begin to recognize by sight. This books contains many of those words. My five-year-old twin daughters read this one every night as they are anxiously awaiting the day when their first teeth will fall out!

5.0 out of 5 starsReality Readers
By Gabriel on January 30, 2010
Format: Paperback
Give your child a head's up on the tooth losing situation. My grandson just lost his first tooth and it was a little traumatic. He brought his tooth to his Mommy with tears rolling down his cheeks and asked her to "put it back". These books can ease the anxiety of the realities of life with stories children can understand. Nice Read. Sweet Story.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book great price
By Mama bear on December 9, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Cute book. Great price. I bought it for my six-year-old son to practice reading because it's short and has appropriate vocabulary for a early beginner reader. It's also also a great price especially for a six-year-old to toss around and practice with. As most six-year-olds are, he doesn't take care of his things very well and it's okay if he bends and throws it around a bit for that price! :-)

5.0 out of 5 starsAdorable book for kids afraid of wiggling loose tooth!
By E. Calero on August 7, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
My 6 year old autistic daughter was very afraid to wiggle her loose bottom tooth and this book really helped her to not be so afraid to try to wiggle her tooth until if finally fell off. Very cute, well written and easy language to follow if you experience a similar problem. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 starsScholastic Reader Level 1: My Tooth Is About Ready To Fall Out
By church lady on September 26, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Our grandson was about to turn 6 yrs. old & had a loose tooth right before Christmas. We thought it would be appropriate for him to practice his beginning reading skills with a book that portrayed a current episode in his young life. It worked sooooo well! He was encouraged to read it to everyone who would sit with him & he shared his loose tooth story by cementing a penchant for reading at the same time. Timely for sure; good shipping time line also.

5.0 out of 5 starsMy tooth is about to fall out
By Janil on November 18, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Bought this for my 1st grade granddaughter and she really loves it.I'd recommend this reader for youngsters in her 6-7 year age group, as they are at the age where they are likely losing teeth as well. The book makes the process of losing teeth a less worrisome experience.
