Walter has lost his tooth. It fell out of his mouth and then he stuck it in his pocket. The only problem is that his pocket had a whole in it and the tooth fell out. His tooth fairy is going to get in trouble from Queen Denteena if she doesn’t bring back his tooth. Walter and his tooth fairy travel to Tooth Fairy Land to try and solve the problem, but it only gets worse. After returning to Walter’s bedroom, however, he come up with a solution to pacify Queen Denteena. (Note: Queen Denteena calls Walter an “idiot” a couple of times in this book. When I have read this story to my boys, I just change the wording.)

What are they going to do with all of these dinosaurs? Well, as you know, moms are very resourceful and the mom in this story is no different. Enjoy!

MommaRead’s first non-fiction book! I first heard of this book when our oldest child’s teacher read it to their class at the beginning of the school year. I loved it instantly. The idea of the book is that every person has an invisible bucket that they carry around with them every day. You can fill up others’ buckets by being nice to them and saying kind things or you can be a “bucket dipper” by being mean and rude. I like it because it gives kids a visual of what their words and actions to do others.
This is a new book for us and it is a keeper. It is the cute story of a group of kids who gather to have a dog wash when what shows up but a cat. Mayhem ensues. The kids manage to figure out how to have their dog wash even with the cat present and everyone is clean…for a while. The rhyming in this book makes it a very fun read and the illustrations are adorable.
