This book is geared towards older elementary students.

This book highlights some key parts of African culture as a young girl goes to visit her family in Africa. This book also teaches about loosing a tooth and would be fun to use in a classroom to teach about loosing teeth and a little information on another culture.

This book is a good read that shares about African family traditions. It would be perfect for primary readers in that it has representations of time and an exciting ending about family history.

I think this book would be good for upper elementary schoolers. This book gives a fun look into a part of African Culture within a fun story! I think kids would be able to not only learn about a different part of the world but can relate to the part of life with losing teeth!

"I Lost my Tooth in Africa" is a cute story about a girl named Amina. She lives in Portland, Oregon and her family is traveling to Mali to visit family. She has a loose tooth and really hopes to lose it while she is in Africa. If she looses it while she's in Africa, she will receive a chicken from the African Tooth Fairy. This story expresses the excitement many children get when they start to lose teeth. It emphasizes the tooth fairy tradition in another culture and shows children and shows the differences. I also like how other traditions are talked about, such as waking up every morning and greeting the grandmother for blessings.… (altro)
