Bear has a loose tooth, but he is frightened about what will happen when it comes out. Will he be able to eat? Will a new one grow in? His friends reassure him, and they all try to get the tooth out for him. None succeed. Eventually the tooth comes out on its own, and Bear gets blueberries from the Tooth Fairy. A calm story with gentle pictures to quell the fears of losing baby teeth.
