All children lose their baby teeth. But what security do they have as to what will grow in the gap left by each tooth lost? Will it be a donkey's tooth? A crooked, yellow dog's tooth? Better hope not! Tooth Mouse Perez will make a trade: one strong, straight mouse tooth for every baby human tooth. This is his mission. Full of imaginative twists and historical, cultural turns, storyteller Ana Cristina Herreros integrates folk beliefs from around the world with healthy tooth-care practices to tell Tooth Mouse Perez. Accompanied by stunning illustrations from Violeta Lopiz, this is a Tooth Mouse history to remember.
