Throw
Your Tooth on the Roof : Tooth Traditions from Around the
World Booklist, July 1998
"If children think a visit from the Tooth Fairy is
the only way to trade in baby teeth, they're in for a
surprise. Beeler's funny and intriguing sampling of
lost-tooth traditions from around the world shows that
teeth are every bit as likely to end up down a mouse
hole, in the stomach of a dog, or on the roof of a house,
as they are under a pillow. . . . Lots and lots of
fun."

Rabbit's Loose Tooth/Bate
Draw a pillow case on paper and
make 2 copies for each student. After reading, have your
students suggest different uses for Little Rabbit's
tooth. Then ask students some possible gifts besides
money that a tooth fairy could leave. Instruct the
student to cut the two pillow cases out. Have them
decorate one copy and on the other copy, have him draw
the picture of the present he or she wishes to get from
the tooth fairy. Align the first pillow over the present

Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist/Berenstain
To
expand on the above story, involve the class in a memory
game. Have the children recall some of the tools used in
the story; then have them add to the list by stating
items they have seen at the dentist office. Now play
"I going to the Desntist and I will see..."
Everyone sits in a circle, one student begins by saying
the above sentence and adding a dental item to the end of
it. For example, "I am going to the Dentist and I
will see a dril." The next student says the same
sentence and adds another tool. Continue till everyone
has added an item to the list.
Franklin
and the Tooth Fairy/Bourgeois
Your students may have not known
(before reading this story) that turtles do not have
teeth. What about other animals??? Ask that question and
have groups of students choose an animal to research.
They should find out; how many teeth their animal has ~
the size of the teeth ~ what the teeth are used for. Have
each student write a brief distcription about the animals
teeth and then share their findings with the class.
