Bookroo's summary

Bridget's excitement over a tooth fairy coin turns into panic when her beloved Captain Cat goes missing at Dinglebang's Toy Store. A frantic chase ensues, only to find another girl has claimed her toy. As Bridget retrieves Captain Cat, she faces a new dilemma: the other girl's tears. With her coin, Bridget buys gifts for everyone, turning a lost toy into a shared adventure. Will Bridget's generosity bring unexpected friendships? And what will her next wiggly tooth bring?

From the publisher

A screwball-sweet story for fans of “Knuffle Bunny,” “Eloise,” and “Olivia” that asks, what if you lost your favorite toy, and someone “else” called it their own? After Bridget’s wiggly tooth falls out, she finds a shiny golden coin under her pillow. “Hold on tight,” Bridget says to Captain Cat, her special-one-and-only toy–it’s off to Dinglebang’s Toy Store. But in all the excitement, Captain Cat is lost! After a high-speed chase in friend Billy’s toy car, Bridget sees another girl pick up Captain Cat–“and walk away with him.” Bridget manages to get her special one and only back, but now the other girl is crying! So with her shiny golden coin, Bridget buys a Ballet Cat for the girl, a Racing Cat for Billy, and gets herself an “I Got Lost in Dinglebang’s” button. Even better? Bridget has another wiggly tooth . . .
