Illustrated by
LeUyen Pham.
Freckleface Strawberry really wants to lose her first tooth at school so she can get the nurse's "NICE" tooth necklace that everyone else seems to have. Freckleface wiggles her "very, very loose" tooth all day, all over school; nothing. Success comes just as the day is almost over. Pham's expressive illustrations enhance Moore's easy-to-read, relatable story.
