Bookroo's summary

Jamie is the only first grader without a missing tooth, and picture day is fast approaching. Desperate to fit in with his gap-toothed classmates, he tries everything to lose a tooth. As the camera clicks, an unexpected twist might just grant Jamie's wish. Will he finally get the smile he dreams of, or will he stand out in a different way?

From the publisher

It’s almost picture day at Robin Hill School–and Jamie is the only student in class who has not lost a tooth in this Level 1 Ready-to-Read story! On Picture Day at school, most kids have smiles with gaps. But Jamie still has all his teeth. No matter what he does, none of his teeth will come out!
