About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is hovering between the excitement of losing a tooth and the anxiety of a new, high stakes responsibility. It is a perfect choice for preschool and kindergarten students who are navigating the transition from early childhood to 'big kid' milestones. In this story, the Tooth Fairy is tired and asks Pete the Cat to take over her duties. Pete is eager to help, but when a tooth goes missing from a messy room, he must stay calm and solve the problem. The story uses Pete's signature laid-back attitude to model resilience and problem solving. It normalizes the pressure of a big job while showing children that even when things go wrong, a little perseverance and a cool head can save the day. Parents will appreciate the gentle introduction to self-care and the encouragement of accountability in a low stress, whimsical setting.
