Inhaltsangabe

One tooth. One wobble. Just a speck.

It moves. It MOVES. It moves a LOT. And Wren has never had a tooth that isn't completely stuck.

So Wren gets a tin ready. A purple tin, with a lid, for keeping a tooth in.

And then Wren waits.

Wren tries an apple. The apple loses. The tooth stays on. Wren tries wiggling it at half past three and half past four and half past tea. Wren has a plan involving string, and a door, and a slam, and a grown-up says absolutely not.

The tin stays empty. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

Until a grown-up sits down on the floor, and doesn't say soon, and doesn't say it won't be long, and says the only true thing there is:

"You can't boss a tooth. You can only keep it company."

So Wren stops pushing. And a Monday goes by. And a Thursday full of rain and glue. And then, in the middle of a laugh about a thing that wasn't even funny, the tooth just goes. And Wren wasn't even there. Wren was busy laughing.

A warm, funny rhyming read-aloud about the longest wait a small person ever sits through.

• It is honest about the waiting. Most loose-tooth books are about the tooth fairy. This one is about the fortnight before, which is the bit your child is actually living through.
• One sentence they can keep. You can't boss a tooth. You can only keep it company. It reframes waiting as something you do rather than something done to you, and it works on far more than teeth.
• Built to be read out loud. Bouncy verse and a two-word refrain your child will be saying with you by the second read.
• Track the purple tin. It is the only bright colour in the whole book, on every single page, and it is empty until it isn't.
• Do not close it early. Because down along Pocket's belly, one old stitch has gone all wobbly. The last page is the one that gets the grown-ups.
• Ages 4-8. Warm hand-painted illustrations on every spread.

From The Very First Time Books. Big firsts, small hands.
