About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts wiggling their first loose tooth and is vacillating between pride and genuine fear of the physical change. It serves as a gentle bridge for children who are becoming big kids but still find new physical sensations or the lore of the Tooth Fairy a bit overwhelming. The story follows Llama Llama as he navigates the anxiety of a wiggly tooth, the confusion of how the Tooth Fairy actually works, and the panic of temporarily losing the tooth before it can be tucked under the pillow. Through Anna Dewdney's signature comforting rhyme, the book normalizes the mixed emotions of growing up. It provides a perfect opening for parents to explain the logistics of tooth loss while offering the reassurance of a parent's constant presence through life's small milestones. Best suited for the preschool and kindergarten set, it turns a common source of childhood stress into a shared moment of humor and relief.
