Ages: 4-8

This is a story about a little girl named Agapanthus Hum. Agapanthus has a woggly tooth, and finally one day it falls out and she realizes she can whistle through the whole where the tooth used to be. She is very excited about this because when she whistles , her dog howls. Agapanthus thinks that is a pretty sound. SO she takes her dog to class, and does the whistle/howl for show and tell. They kids in her class loved it! They all wished they could do it too! One day Agapanthus's best friend called her up to tell her that he could whistle too, but sadly Agapanthus cannot do it any longer. But they good news is, she has 5 more woggly teeth!

Who I would recommend this to: Young children, possibly ones who are about to, or have lost their first tooth.

Any possible problems/ conflicts? No I do not see any problems.

My reaction: My mom read this book aloud to me, and it was a very silly book. We had a lot of fun with it. **** Four Stars
