Throw You Tooth on the Roof is a great book to interest students in other cultures' traditions. What do 6-8 year olds care more about than losing teeth?! This book gives information from each end of the world. Who knew that so many countries had mice that take away the teeth? Most countries children are rewarded for losing teeth. In some Asian countries, children throw their teeth over the roof, so they will come back in straight! At the end of the book, there is information about individual teeth and what they are used for inside your mouth.
