They suggest that she put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy. The tooth falls out in some chocolate ice cream. They told her to eat what she wants with the other teeth but eat soft stuff with the loose tooth.
Little Rabbit has a Loose tooth and she talk to her parents about what's he should do. All in all, a cute exploration of an experience that young readers will immediately recognize as something that they too have undergone. The author really has the rhythms of family dinner discussion down pat, just as the illustrator, Diane de Groat, has her characters' lapine charm captured perfectly, in her artwork. I really liked the fact that Lucy Bate neither confirms nor denies the existence of the tooth fairy in her narrative, and that Little Rabbit's parents - whose comments seem so typically parental, in a familiar and funny way - are so obviously involved, without seeming overly cloying, in their affection.
Wondering what she should do with the tooth - throw it away? make a necklace of it? leave it for the tooth-fairy? - she explores the options with her patient parents, who allow her to make her own decisions, and come to her own conclusions. Little Rabbit experiences one of the common childhood rites of passage in this charming picture-book, first published in 1975, and a favorite with young readers ever since! To wit: she loses her first tooth, a momentous occasion that takes place at the dinner table, as she is eating chocolate ice cream.
