Beeler and illustrated by G. Brian Karas was one of my favorite books from my childhood. I loved reading it again with a new perspective. What I love the most are the illustrations. They are extremely representative of the text and you can tell what the text is saying without necessarily needing to read it. They include so much detail, which makes this book so great. Another aspect of the book that I love is the way it is written. The book discusses different traditions of what children do when they lose their teeth from over 60 countries, but it does not seem like that much information. The writing is brief and straight to the point, so it is very easy to read for all ages. I love everything about Throw Your Tooth on the Roof by Selby B. Beeler and illustrated by G. Brian Karas. Throw Your Tooth on the Roof is a Non-Fiction Story Book meant for grades Pre-K to 3. The kids give short statements about the different traditions people have for when kids lose their teeth. Throw Your Tooth on the Roof gives a unique view to old cultural traditions as it compares and contrasts what different people do. This book may be problematic as children may lose the opportunity to believe in the tooth fairy or a rat or bunny taking teeth as they see it is not same around the world. In addition, kids may also be enlightened to see the similarities as multiple cultures share the same beliefs. In both Mexico and Haiti, there are beliefs of a rat that will take the lost tooth. A logistical problem with the book also includes that there are between six or seven different statement on each page with 32 pages in the whole book. This can be problematic as the young audience it is intended for do not have long attention spans. In this case, including so many cultures to compare can actually pose as a negative aspect of the book. In conclusion, the book has great ideas, but they are not displayed in an effective manner. I thought that this book was very educational in terms of describing the different cultures around the world and comparing them to the customs and traditions in the united states. Its a good book to read to children to show all kinds of cultures and how they are similar and also how they are different. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
