Andrew's tooth is killing him, but it just won't fall out. So what do they do? Call the Tooth Fairy, of course!
Andrew bites into an apple and his loose tooth hurts. So his dad tries to take it out with a big pair of pliers, but no luck. So they call the dentist, who tries to pull it out with his car, but no luck. So Andrew’s friend Louis calls the Tooth Fairy. She comes on her motorcycle and tries to pull out the tooth, but no luck. So it’s up to Louis —he uses pepper to make Andrew sneeze the tooth all the way across town.

ROBERT MUNSCH is Canada's bestselling author of more than sixty picture books for young readers. His heartwarming and hilarious stories are beloved by children, parents, teachers and booksellers alike. He lives in Guelph, Ontario.
MICHAEL MARTCHENKO's illustrations are as instantly identifiable and lovable as Robert Munsch's stories. His wild and colorful pictures add depth and even more hilarity to these picture book tales. Michael lives in Toronto, Ontario.
This slim, paper-over-board volume by the creators of The Paper Bag Princess and Alligator Baby gives some loose-tooth cliches a slapstick spin. When Andrew's wobbly, hurting tooth prevents him from eating an apple, his mother yanks at it futilely with both hands. His father then puts his foot on the boy's nose and attempts to pull it with pliers. However, this effort is no more successful than the dentist's endeavor to tie one end of a rope to the tooth and the other to his car (which falls apart when he drives away), or the tooth fairy's attempted extraction with a hammer. A vigorous sneeze (brought on by his best friend's idea that Andrew inhale pepper) finally does the trick, sending the tooth flying through the air, "all the way across town." Martchenko's watercolor cartoons embellish the tale's hyperbole with funky touches: wearing beads and sandals, the ponytailed dentist arrives in a car boasting a giant rooftop tooth; and the leather-clad, motorcycle-riding tooth fairy sports a necklace studded with specimens of her trade. Although it's all quite inane, Munsch fans will be thoroughly entertained. Ages 3-6.
