Another great book from the Arthur series. The book is about Arthur, the last student in the class to lose his first baby tooth. Some of the other students in the class make fun of Arthur, because he still has all his baby teeth. Other students try to help Arthur's tooth fall out, but nothing works. Finally an accident causes Arthur to lose his tooth. This book teaches children to be patient and to help their friends. It also teaches them that everyone is different. I really like this book.
I've loved the Artur book series since I was a child and I love sharing my old favorites with my daughter, including this one. What I love about the Arthur series is that they are so relateable to kids and teach an important lesson in each one. In Arthur's Tooth, Arthur is the last one in his class to lose a tooth and he's embarrassed as other kids make fun of him, so he tries everything he can, like eating tough foods and tying a string to his tooth and closing the door. Nothing works, but an accident on the playground helps him in that regard.What I love about this story is the message behind it: that we are all different and changes happen in our bodies, including teeth at different times and that's ok because it's part of what makes you unique. This is a nicely illustrated book as well and highly recommended, especially for kids who are at the age of losing teeth!
We are first grade students at the Anna Merritt Elementary School. Our teacher did a Marc Brown author study. She read Arthur's Tooth to us and we loved the book. Javeon and Cory liked the part when Arthur wanted to pull out his tooth with his hand. Nicholas and Jacob liked the part when Arthur lost his tooth. Marissa liked the part when Francine knocked Arthur's tooth out. We hope Marc Brown writes a lot more Arthur stories!
Great book to teach children about them losing there teeth. Arthur still had all his baby teeth while his classmates had lost them all. He was getting teased all day and wasn't being accepted in there games. At the end his situation was solved. By the number one teaser.
I gave this book to my great nieces. My son had this book and enjoyed it immensely. Good choice for anyone who has children.
Even though it happens to everyone, losing a tooth for the first time can make kids a little nervous or apprehensive. "Arthur's Tooth" offers a funny story that helps make the loss of baby teeth less scary. It shows kids that they are not alone in losing their teeth, while also telling a story that is silly enough to keep kids engaged (I like The Brain's tooth odd-looking extraction contraption.)The book even manages to pass a long a few educational bits, such as "Between the ages of four and seven, everyone begins to lose their deciduous, or baby, teeth."
All the Arthur books are fun to read. Marc Brown knows how to connect with children.I used these books when I was a reading specialist and with all my grandchildren. They love these books.
I have been reading Arthur books to my grandchildren for years and they never tire of the adventures of Authur and his friends.
