Product Description
by Robert J. Carr (Author)
This picture book, I Lost My Tooth, is one of subtle but significant meaning. It is with minimal and predictable text. The main character "Walrus" makes a perfect subject as his two long teeth are so notable in defining his character. Multiple other characters within the mammalian family cry out proclaiming they too have lost a tooth. The stress of loss is resolved and hope is restored to all other animals when "Walrus" grows a second tooth as most mammals do. The black and white illustrations are bold, simple, loveable, and memorable. The backgrounds, foregrounds, and inner text are painted with a toothbrush using various techniques. This book is a great beginner reader book and cathartic to a child's emotions around the loss of a tooth. *Walrus appears in another book by the author titled, Walrus, Will You Hang With Me?.
