We're reading a book this week that we just love. It's called Sweet Tooth by Margie Palatini and illustrated by Jack E. Davis. It's about a kid, driven by his sweet tooth (a very outspoken and demanding character) to misbehave when ever there are sweets around. (Sound familiar - it hits me in a very personal way.) He finally goes "cold turkey" (a phrase we discuss the meaning of), and cuts off his sweet tooth from all sugar. He finally dislodges the tooth with a dreaded carrot, and the tooth is undone by an orange veggie. 2nd through 6th do best with this book. It's a bit confusing to the younger set. We love the illustrations and enjoy using a different and harsh voice for the obnoxious sweet tooth. It's a fun read.
