Throw Your Tooth on the Roof: Tooth Traditions from Around the World

Rating:
Summary: I loved it.
Review: I am a second year dental hygiene student and have recently been reading many tooth fairy tales. I loved the way the author showed the similarities as well as the differences of the world tooth traditions. I brought the book into our college clinic; those that had the chance to read the book loved all the different stories as well. Throw Your Tooth on the Roof: Tooth Traditions from Around the World, by Selby B. Beeler, was a joy to read.

Summary: You are going to love this book.
Review: I use this book as a reference when I do dental education for all of our county's K and 3rd graders. It allows us to discuss the tooth fairy (children love that) and cultural diversity. While talking about the tooth fairy, we are allowed to discuss that while we may celebrate life events differently, we are all the same, regardless of our skin color or where we live. Buy this book for your children, your grand children, and your friend's children. You will love this book.

Summary: Great Fun for Little Ones
Review: The kids love this book! Concerned about losing their baby teeth, the kids with whom I've read this book are intrigued to learn that they are not the only ones in the world who lose their teeth and do something special with them. A must-read for the tooth-losing age group!

Summary: Love it!
Review: We found this book in our dentist's office and it kept my kids occupied with no thought of their about-to-happen visit. What a stroke of brilliance to have this in the waiting room. When we left, I saw an older man reading it and he had a big smile on his face. My dentist said she's been giving a copy to graduating dental students ... of course. My cousin's graduating from dental school next spring, so I'm glad to have THAT gift problem solved. Besides, it's fun to read. Who would have thought that tooth-losing traditions would be different all over the world? My kids started asking what else is the same but different with kids in other countries--good question.
