The Substi-Tooth, written by Kristin Manty, is a picture book for young children. One day at the beach, Austin and his mom are soaking up the sun. Austin is flying his kite and building sand castles, whilst also working on an important task. He has a wobbly tooth that he really wants to come out. Finally, after tugging at it a lot, it comes out. He puts it somewhere safe for the time being, but something terrible happens, which ruins Austin’s chances of leaving it under his pillow for the tooth fairy. Will Austin be able to resolve the dilemma he’s in? Or, after all that hard work, will he have nothing for the tooth fairy? Find out in this book.
The Substi-Tooth was a pleasure to read. The first page drops you right in the scene where all the action takes place. The main character is trying to wiggle out his tooth, which all children will be able to relate to, and maybe even follow in his footsteps of persisting to wiggle it out. Ultimately, this teaches them the important lesson of not giving up if something is hard, whilst also provoking excitement over a loose tooth, rather than fearing it. Hopefully, it will allow children to focus more on the benefits of leaving it for the tooth fairy. Who doesn’t love money from a mystical creature? The illustrations by Kaori Iha will catch the eyes of every youngster who reads this book. I highly recommend this wonderful book, so pick up a copy and prepare for a visit from the tooth fairy!
