Throw Your Tooth on the Roof: Tooth Traditions from Around the World

 by Selby Beeler

398 BEE

What do you do with your tooth when it falls out? Do you save it for the tooth fairy? El Raton? If you lived in Korea (in Asia) you would throw your tooth on the roof, and say "Blackbird, I give you my tooth. Now bring me a new one!" In Central America, in the country of Costa Rica, boys and girls give their teeth to their mother to have them made into earrings to wear! Different countries have different customs or traditions regarding what children do with their teeth. Wait until you find out the unusual custom in Sweden and in Egypt!

 

Each Little BIrd That Sings by Deborah Wiles

FIC WIL

Did you read and enjoy Because of Winn Dixie by Di Camillo? I REALLY REALLY loved the DOG! The dog in Each Little Bird That Sings is SO much like Winn Dixie. He's lovable, friendly, loyal, AND he has a very important job working where he lives -- at the Snowberger family's funeral home in Snapfinger, Mississippi. Comfort (about 11 years old) loves her dog, just about (or even more) than her best girlfriend, Declaration. There's humor and sad parts in this book, which you won't want to put down, until you find out why Comfort NEVER wants to see her cousin, Peach, again.
