About this book
Amanda Pig has her very first loose tooth, and she can’t wait for it to fall out—especially if it means a visit from the Tooth Fairy. With gentle humor and short, easy chapters, the story captures the excitement and worries that come with growing up. Beginning readers will recognize everyday family moments, school-day chatter, and big-sister/little-brother dynamics. It’s a warm, confidence-building read for kids starting to lose teeth and to read on their own.
Setting: Amanda’s home and primary classroom in a friendly suburban neighborhood, present day
