I Lost My Tooth

<p class=ql-align-center><br></p><p>This picture book <u>I Lost My Tooth</u> is one of simplicity with deep meaning. It is with minimal and predictable text. The main character Walrus makes a perfect subject as his two long teeth are so notable in defining his character. Multiple other characters within the mammalian family cry out proclaiming they too have lost a tooth. The stress of loss is resolved and hope is restored to all other animals when Walrus grows a second replacement tooth (as most mammals do). The black and white illustrations are bold simple loveable and memorable. The backgrounds foregrounds and inner text are painted with a toothbrush using various techniques. This book is a great beginner reader book and cathartic to a child's emotions around the loss of a tooth as well as their empathy and connection to the animal world. </p><p>*The character Walrus appears in another book titled Walrus Will You Hang With Me?.</p>
