(3) K-3 Wei Fong, a young Chinese immigrant, loses his wobbly tooth on the steps of the federal courthouse just as he and his parents are about to go in for their naturalization ceremony. An international search begins, as other immigrants, speaking in various languages, help look for the tooth. Lively illustrations accompany the text. A preface explains the U.S. naturalization process.
