Trevor, the only one in his class not yet a member of the Missing
Tooth Club, finally has a wiggly tooth. But how exactly can he pull it
out?
The time has finally come for one of Trevor's teeth to fall out, and
he's never been more excited! Each day he proudly shows his friends how
it wiggles more and more.
But each friend in turn cautions him about the scary ways a loose tooth
can be pulled out--from fingers to string to pliers. Trevor wants his
tooth to come out, but he doesn't want someone to yank it out. When
Grandma Sally shows his class how to make old-fashioned taffy, Trevor
learns there are also fun ways to pull a tooth!
With a delightful twist at the end, Lester L. Laminack's humorous story
captures the anxious joy that each child experiences with his or her
first loose tooth. Kathi Gary McCord's whimsical illustrations bring
Trevor and his classmates to life.
