What if you're first and best at everything -- except losing your
first tooth? A sweet, relatable story about comparing yourself to
others, losing teeth, and the value of good friends.
Josie is the monkey-bars champion, the first one to read a whole book by
herself, and the second-fastest runner in her class. But she's the worst
at losing teeth --the only kid in her class who still has all her baby
teeth! One night, Josie finally feels a tooth wiggle, just a little, and
she can't wait to show her best friend, Richard. But nothing makes the
tooth fall out -- not hanging upside down, chomping on an apple, or even
pulling on the tooth with a string -- until Josie trips and goes splat
and the tooth is lost for good. Now what can she leave under her pillow
for the tooth fairy?
