Airmail to the Moon

Airmail to the Moon by Tom Birdseye is a story about a young girl who loses a tooth and goes a hunt to find her stole it. Eventually she finds her tooth in her pockets while she is throwing a fit and stomping her feet. The story has a very well developed main character that has personality. The main character uses the phrase "I'll open a can of gotcha and send her airmail to the moon!" The illustrations have a lot of detail and are beautifully sketched with color. The themes that stand out are about jumping to conclusions, and problem solving. I really enjoyed this story and would recommend it to any child, especially children who are getting excited about losing their teeth!
