The Bear’s Toothache

Written and illustrated by David McPhail

This is a great read aloud book.

What do you do when a bear with a toothache comes to the house one night? Well you invite him in, of course, and try to pull the aching tooth. If tugging on the tooth doesn’t work, if chewing on some steak doesn’t work, if hitting his mouth with a pillow doesn’t work, try tying a cowboy rope around his tooth and tying the other end around the bedpost. When the bear jumps from the windowsill and the tooth pops out, the bear is so happy, he leaves the tooth to put under your pillow.
