About this title

About the Author:

Lola M. Schaefer is the author of numerous books for children. School Library Journal called This Is the Sunflower, illustrated by Donald Crews, "a simple, elegant book, filled with a little information and a lot of pleasure." And The Horn Book said, "this handsome book is a natural for science story hours." The author lives with her husband, Ted, in northeastern Indiana.

From Booklist:

PreS. "My tooth is loose!" The series is My First I Can Read Book, and the story is straight from every preschooler's experience, told in simple repeated words and clear, energetic, colored pictures outlined with thick black lines. Close-ups show the anxiety and the physical facts every kid knows: "I can see it. I can feel it. I can pull it. I can push it." The little boy wiggles his tooth for Sister and for his dog, "But it won't come out." Everyone has a suggestion: Brother recommends pulling it; Sister advises him to wait. But it comes out on its own--now there's a hole where the tooth used to be! The elemental story will show new readers that books are about them. Hazel Rochman
