Synopsis
Alfred Crabtree has lost his false teeth. But don’t worry, he’ll find them if he can just get his things organized! Alfred's world is cluttered with surprising objects. Some are very uncommon, and some are probably not where they ought to be. There are a lot of pencils and small yapping dogs. There’s a squeeze bottle of mustard, a plunger, a rubber band or two, a few very fancy hats, and a group portrait of sea monsters. There’s an old cassette tape, a swizzle stick, a bicycle pump, and an armadillo shell. Join Alfred on a romp through his far too many possessions and you’ll end up learning more about him than he knows about himself. And maybe he’ll find his teeth in all that stuff!

About the Author
Jon and Tucker Nichols are brothers. They have always liked making things together, from blueberry pies to strange games involving balls and pine cones. These days they live in Northern California, where Jon plays music and Tucker shows his artwork at galleries and museums around the world. "Crabtree" is their first book for kids. Jon made most of the words. Tucker made most of the drawings.
Reviews
PreS-Gr 2—Alfred Crabtree cannot find his false teeth. Making the situation even more dire is the fact that he has many belongings among which they could be hidden. Overwhelmed, he calls his sister for advice. Stressing the need for organization, she suggests categorization. Hats are sorted with other hats, duck decoys are grouped together, as are portraits and favorite foods. "It is no fun to be hungry when you are looking for your false teeth." Unfortunately, sorting spreads Alfred's stuff out even more and leaves barely any room to move around. Needing additional advice, he calls another sister, who suggests putting everything in boxes. Alfred now has boxes labeled "Small yapping dogs," "Shells" (including pasta), "Broken Things," and "I Don't Know What These Things Are." Worn out and still without his teeth, he calls yet another sister. She asks if he looked in his "teeth closet" and, voila, there they are. Exhausted from all his looking, sorting, packing, and stacking, Alfred, wearing a toothy grin, decides to take a cruise on a ship that just happens to have room for all his boxes. This oversize book with foldout pages barely manages to contain the items cluttering Alfred's life. The loose, colorful illustrations with humorous captions will delight readers, even if some need to be explained (swizzle stick, cassette tape) and may inspire others to try drawing the things in their life. It may also inspire some closet cleaning.—Sara-Jo Lupo Sites, George F. Johnson Memorial Library, Endicott, NY

One bright fall, Alfred Crabtree woke up to discover he couldn't find his false teeth.
He tried posting a LOST TEETH sign at the local post office, but he was afraid nobody would see it.
So Alfred started searching his belongings himself.
