The Lost Tooth
by A.M. Vela and Mary Esparza-Vela
illustrated by Visual Myths
"The Lost Tooth," a new picture book by A.M. Vela and Mary Esparza-Vela, is a cute story of a baby hippo who discovers one
morning that he's lost a tooth. Baby Hippo starts retracing his steps searching for his
missing tooth. He meets many other animals along the way and asks them if
they've found or seen his tooth. They all tell him how many teeth they have as
young animals and how many they'll have when fully grown adults. No one has seen Baby
Hippo's lost tooth. However, the last animal he meets has a great suggestion for the
little hippo. Baby Hippo doesn't find his lost tooth, but he does get some
compensation, which gives us a funny ending.
"The Lost Tooth is illustrated by Visual Myths. Their artwork is cheerful, upbeat, and fun.
Readers will be entertained by the pictures as they hunt along with Baby
Hippo for his lost tooth. This sweet picture book is recommended for ages 5 to 8. Younger children can
follow the story through the expressive illustrations.
There are some hippo facts at the end of the story, plus photographs
of a newborn hippo and a hippo with its mother. For the older, independent reader, there are silly hippo jokes
to enjoy.
At the back of the book is a list of children's books in English,
Spanish, and bilingual format, available from the writing team of A.M. Vela
and Mary Esparza-Vela.
