Illustrated by
Jane Chapman.
When nervous Bear discovers his first loose tooth, his friends try (gently) to extract the wobbly bicuspid. In the end, it's Bear's own wiggling tongue that does the job. The text has some minor missteps in cadence. Chapman's illustrations include cute details, including a tooth fairy that leaves blueberries as payment.
