A CALDECOTT HONOR BOOK . This heartwarming classic beautifully conveys life's everyday pleasures.

As Sal brushes her teeth she noticed something strange. One of her teeth is loose! Her first loose tooth! When the tooth falls out she'll be able to put it under her pillow and make a wish. But while Sal digs for clams with her Dad, her loose tooth becomes a lost tooth. How can she make her wish now? Luckily an exciting trip to Buck's Harbor with Dad and baby Jane helps make Sal's wish come true.

In this beloved story, Robert McCloskey's deep appreciation of the Maine islands comes through in gorgeously illustrated detail.

Robert McCloskey (1914-2003) authored and drew some of the most well-known children's books. The Caldecott Medal was given to both Make Way for Ducklings and Time of Wonder for the most outstanding picture book of the year, and Blueberries for Sal and One Morning in Maine were designated Caldecott Honor Books. Homer Price, McCloskey's picture of a archetypal American boyhood, is set in Hamilton, Ohio, where McCloskey grew up. He studied art at Boston's Saint George School of Art and completed his education at New York's National Academy of Design. He won the Prix de Rome, but decided to postpone his study abroad until after WWII.

Following that, he and his wife, Margaret Durand, relocated to Maine, where they raised their two daughters and McCloskey found inspiration for several of his works. Robert McCloskey's ducklings are preserved as bronze statues in Boston's Public Gardens, where countless youngsters come to see them. He leaves a legacy of books that have been popular for decades.
