Arthur the chimp is a little worried about losing his loose tooth, until his sister and their babysitter show him the real meaning of bravery.

Surprised and pleased with the way this book deals with the notion of bravery. ( )

I loved this read. A more challenging read for 1st and 2nd graders, however, this book was very informative and helped children realize that once again, loosing a tooth is a way of life. Children seem so fascinated by the loss of teeth and the tooth fairy and all of those characters that force them to use their imaginations. The author, Lillian Hoban does a great job with her illustrations on every page, showing the relationship that Arthur and his sister have together. At the end of the book, we learn that Arthur calls his sister Violet when she won't go in the dark alone. But this only reveals that Arthur is also scared of something, and this is, loosing is tooth. They teach each other what it means to be brave. This book is a great way to help children overcome their fear of loosing teeth and to better understand the natural process. Every page is filled from top to bottom with large, black font that is easy to read, as well as colorful and detailed pictures that correspond to that page. ( )

Arthur the chimp is a little worried about losing his loose tooth, until his sister and their baby-sitter show him the eal meaning of bravery.

This is a funny story about how Arthur looses his tooth. The story revolves around the events that lead up to the lost tooth. As the baby sitter is watching them, Arthur is being loud and hyper and hurts himself, he later calms down and realizes that they are making sweet treats that he can't eat, because of his lose tooth. In the end the tooth is lost and the way it happens is very lucky.
