Third Grade Baby

Polly Peterson knows that baby teeth are for babies like her little brother, Max. And yet she's the only kid in her third grade class who hasn't lost a single one. Her best friends, Oliver and Amelia, try to make her feel better, but it's hard to be cheerful when Zachary, the new boy at school, starts calling her Babyteeth. As if that weren't bad enough, Polly worries about what to do when she finally does lose a tooth. Can third graders leave teeth under their pillows? Or is the tooth fairy also just for babies?

In this charming and funny book filled with exuberant illustrations, Polly learns that true growth isn't measured by the teeth we lose, but rather by the friendships we gain.
