This is indeed a 'warm and funny picture book' as the blurb on the back tells us. It's about a boy called Bill who wants very much to be like everyone else in his school class. They are beginning to lose their baby teeth but Bill's are taking longer than most. However, after one or two adventures and attempts to get a tooth to come out, he finally manages it thanks to a sticky 'brownie' backed by his friend Daisy. Content at last he is able to bring home a photograph of the whole class saying 'Cheese' and grinning to show various gaps in their teeth -- including Bill's. This is a pleasant book about normal family living and it has a very satisfactory ending. Definitely a good buy.
