There is a wiggly, twisty-turny tooth in your mouth, and it is hard not to think about it. Is it ready to come out? Should you tug it? Do animals ever have this problem too? My Loose Tooth uses playful rhyme to turn a familiar childhood milestone into a funny, easy-to-read story. The simple language and lively questions make it especially friendly for children who are starting to read on their own or who are waiting for a first tooth to fall out. Light, reassuring, and a little silly, this early reader helps make a loose tooth feel less mysterious and more like an adventure.

Many years ago, a beautiful temple bell rang out over a small Japanese town, bringing joy to everyone who heard it. But during the war, Yuko's grandmother watched in sorrow as the beloved bell was taken away to be melted down for scrap metal. She believed her town would never hear its wonderful music again. However, the bell's journey was far from over. After the war ended, an American Navy crew discovered the abandoned bell in a shipyard and brought it all the way across the ocean to the United States. In a truly amazing gesture of friendship and forgiveness, the bell was eventually returned to Japan. Based on the inspiring true story of the American-Japanese Friendship Peace Bell, this moving tale shows how a simple object can help heal old wounds and celebrate lasting peace between nations.
