Loose Tooth



Title: Loose Tooth
Author: Lola M. Schaefer
Illustrator: Sylvie Wickstrom
Ages: 3-5; or Reading level 1
Rating: 4/5

Plot: A little boy wakes up one morning with a loose tooth, and he can't wait for it to come out!

Assessment: The illustrations tell the story as well as the simple text. The sentences are very short often only 4 or 5 words long. There is a lot of repetition so children can recognize a word they've read previously.

This is an experience that young children in this reading age will begin anticipating, or can begin relating to.
