About This Book

Young Sal wakes up one morning in Maine to discover she has a loose tooth, which she loses while digging for clams with her father at the shore. The day unfolds as the family takes a boat trip to town, and Sal makes a special wish on her lost tooth along the way.

Why We Love This

Robert McCloskey's gorgeous blue lithograph illustrations capture coastal Maine so beautifully - a nostalgic, unhurried story that makes kids feel like they're right there by the sea.
