It's the first day of first grade, and this little girl is excited, right?
WRONG.
That's because although her new teacher may look harmless, she is actually . . . a purple-tongued, three-hundred-year-old alien who steals the teeth of earthling children.
How does this little girl know?
A second grader told her.
And not a moment too soon, for she has a big secret: a loose tooth! How will she get through an entire year without opening her mouth?
With the same sweet wit of their first book, Countdown to Kindergarten, Alison McGhee and Harry Bliss take a hilarious bite out of first-day jitters . . . and the fears about losing one's first tooth.
