Illustrated by
Chris Raschka.
A girl receives seven fortune cookies. Her first says, "Today you will lose something you don't need." And, voilà, she loses her tooth. As the week goes on, she enjoys good fortune and weathers bad. Raschka's translucent yet vibrant watercolors loom large on expansive white pages; the fortunes are printed on exceptionally sturdy tabs that readers pull from inside each cookie.
