Mrs. Watson Wants Your Teeth

by Jenna Bayley-Burke

 

Many kids are excited for the first day of school. But not this first grader. Not after hearing a nasty rumor that her teacher Mrs. Watson is actually is actually a baby tooth stealing three-hundred-year-old alien!

This little girl has reason to be worried, she has a loose tooth! To save herself and her tooth she vows to keep her mouth closed for the entire first grade. The happy ending shows kids to trust their own experiences, not rumors.

In Mrs. Watson Wants Your Teeth, author Alison McGhee captures first day of school jitters with empathy and humor. Illustrations by Harry Bliss will have you flipping through the pages again and again, even after you're done reading the story. It is fun for parents and older children to find the hidden dental jokes like the Book Fair poster advertising Harry Plotter and the Huge Cavity by J.K. Salinger.

My three-year-old had not realized that his teeth would some lose a tooth before reading this book. He now asks almost daily if his teeth are falling out.
