5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this as a child in Maine, and I still love it today!, May 28, 2000
This book, along with Blueberries for Sal and Time of Wonder, by the same author, were some of my favorite books as a child growing up in Maine. I loved them because the children did things I did---dug for clams, picked blueberries, took boat rides to get ice cream, played on the rocky shore and on and on! I loved the pictures because they are so detailed and realistic. This book in particular was a favorite because it was about an older Sal than in Blueberries for Sal, dealing with the universal excitement of losing a first tooth. I love her relationship with her younger sister Jane, who is drawn as one of the most adorable toddlers around. If you are looking for a calm and wholesome in the best way book for your child, this might be one you want to consider.

5.0 out of 5 stars Toothless wonder, August 17, 2001
There are lots of books about loosing teeth now, all of them more recent than this one, which remains one of the best. Most of the newer stories revolve around the tooth fairy. They're good. But in this one, there's no fairy--and no tooth. Sal's loose tooth falls into the mud while she's clamming on the way to Buck's Harbor. The bad news is that she can't find the tooth. The good news is that life goes on, Sal learns about seagulls molting their feathers and she learns how to accept a little loss. She makes a wish and gets an ice cream. In our house, the tooth fairy sometimes got lost. But the kids learned from Sal that little losses are nothing, and life does go on. Alyssa A. Lappen

5.0 out of 5 stars A true example of growing up on the coast of Maine., June 14, 2002
By Shannon Bunt (Sedgwick , ME USA) - See all my reviews
This book truely dipicts coastal Maine life in the 60's and 70's. I can astest to this fact as I my self grew up only a few miles away from Buck's Harbor, visited Mr. Condon's Garage, and bought sodas at the small Mom and Pops store in the Village where Sal and Jane got thier ice creams. And to top it off gone fishing in Bucks Harbor with my own farther.
I love this book. If you would like to know about being a young girl on the Coast of Maine, or share the expirience with your children. Please read One Morning In Maine, By Robert McCloskey. I would also recomend, Blue Berries for Sal, and A time of Wonder, also By Mr. McCloskey.
