From AudioFile:
First-grade teacher Mrs. Watson is after all the baby teeth she can get. The main character of this story knows--a second-grader told her. Her only choice is to keep her mouth shut to protect her loose tooth. Narrator Rachael Lillis sounds like a girlish first-grader, and the mini-drama also includes fun sound effects. We hear a bus pull up, the eager responses of first-graders, swelling music as the tension builds (will the first-grader open her mouth?), and even an audible tinkle when she loses her tooth. This story, which comes with a humorously illustrated book that children will enjoy, has a broad appeal to young listeners.
