PreSchool-Grade 1-Puddle"s cousin Opal comes to visit Woodcock Pocket in Hobbie"s latest piglet adventure. With her gamine smile, Mary Janes, sunbonnet, and pink femininity, she"s a charmer and delights in playing with Toot and Puddle. The loose tooth that she has been wriggling and wobbling suddenly falls out and disappears and Puddle wrestles with the necessity of a visit from the Tooth Fairy. Does the Tooth Fairy truly come to Woodcock Pocket? Hobbie"s story and humorous and expressive watercolor illustrations are perfectly tuned-in to her audience. (How does the Tooth Fairy know where to go when someone with a lost tooth is away from home?) The sight of Puddle"s earnest Tooth Fairy costume with a shower-curtain gown and clothes-hanger wings will warm readers" hearts. Pair this title with Joy Cowley"s Agapanthus Hum and the Angel Hoot (Philomel, 2003) to delight those with \"holes in their smiles.\"-Mary Elam, Forman Elementary School, Plano, TX
