Synopsis

A CALDECOTT HONOR BOOK • This heartwarming classic beautifully conveys life’s everyday pleasures.

As Sal brushes her teeth she noticed something strange. One of her teeth is loose! Her first loose tooth! When the tooth falls out she’ll be able to put it under her pillow and make a wish. But while Sal digs for clams with her Dad, her loose tooth becomes a lost tooth. How can she make her wish now? Luckily an exciting trip to Buck’s Harbor with Dad and baby Jane helps make Sal’s wish come true.

In this beloved story, Robert McCloskey’s deep appreciation of the Maine islands comes through in gorgeously illustrated detail.
