- School Library Journal Reviews : SLJ Reviews 2023 February
Copyright 2023 School Library Journal.K-Gr 2â Based on an episode of the PBS Kids's animated seriesAlma's Way , this book focuses on Junior, Alma's little brother. Junior is excited to lose his first toothâ he even plans to let his tooth be the star of a "Tooth-tastic Show"âand Alma wants to help. Alma and Junior consult their TÃa Gloria for advice on how to lose the tooth. She recommends eating hot pepper pretzels, but instead Junior wiggles his tooth one more time, and out it pops. Unfortunately, the hot pepper from the pretzels makes Junior sneeze, and the tooth flies away. The whole family searches and finally finds Junior's tooth, and the story ends with an image of Junior's tooth show. As a Level 2 Reader, this book has between 250 and 750 words, introduces new vocabulary, and contains longer sentences. There isn't a lot of tension in this book. Like the show, this book is gentle and sweet. The characters are kind to one another, and the Bronx-based Puerto Rican family unit is very loving.VERDICT A warm story that will help newly independent readers practice feeling empathy for storybook characters.âJennifer Miskec
