Air Mail to the Moon by Tom Birdseye

If you're looking for a good book with some old fashioned names, talk about the tooth fairy, and a little girl who thinks her tooth gets stolen, then Air Mail to the Moon by Tom Birdseye would be a great book for you. When first looking at the front cover to this book, I couldn't help but laugh. A little girl with a big grin and a big hole in her mouth just didn't look all that normal to me for a book. As I began reading through it though I realized that it was a hilarious book.

It starts out with a little girl who has a loose tooth. Her parents tell her not to go around and tell everyone that she is going to lose it though, just in case it takes a long time. She does good at this for a while but then she just has to come out and say it. Later on her tooth finally falls out and when it does her family tells her to put it underneath her pillow so the tooth fairy can come and give her money. So she goes to bed and the next morning she wakes up and neither her tooth or any money is under her pillow. Someone stole her tooth!! She goes and confronts all of her family for stealing her tooth and then they get talking about wacky things that the tooth fairy does with the teeth.

At the end of the story the little girl gets really mad after telling everyone, “I’m gonna open up a can of gotcha and send ‘em airmail to the moon,” and she digs her hands down into her pockets....and what could she find??

So this book really showed me not to judge a book by its cover. The pictures were really good, even though a little hickish, and they showed the story perfectly. It's a great book and I would really recommend it if you want a book that will make you laugh.
