Reach for this book when your child is experiencing the mixture of pride and anxiety that comes with their first loose tooth.

This story provides a gentle, humorous way to navigate those jitters. In this story, Georgie's friends offer a variety of creative, albeit slightly scary, suggestions for getting his tooth out. Through their well meaning but overwhelming input, the book emphasizes that patience is often the best strategy.
