I Want My Tooth

Tony Ross’s Little Princess is back in a seventh ‘I Want’ book. This time the Princess, proud of her 20 perfect teeth, is horrified when one wobbles and eventually disappears mysteriously. The search is on – until at last she ‘finds’ it, or one just like it, newly emerged in the mouth of her previously toothless brother.

Fans of the series will no doubt enjoy this daft but usefully reassuring story – though I’m not sure about the potentially confusing denouement. Its promotion of tooth brushing and sensible food will find favour with parents too.
