ABOUT THE BOOK
As Sal brushes her teeth she notices something strange. One of her teeth is loose! Her first loose tooth! When the tooth falls out she'll be able to put it under her pillow and make a wish. But while Sal digs for clams with Dad, her loose tooth becomes a lost tooth. How can she make her wish now? Luckily, an exciting trip to Buck's Harbor with Dad and baby Jane helps make Sal's wish some true.

In this heartwarming story, Robert McCloskey beautifully conveys life's everyday pleasures and his intimate knowledge and deep appreciation of the Maine islands.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Robert McCloskey (1914-2003) wrote and illustrated some of the most honored and enduring children's books ever published, including Blueberries for Sal, One Morning in Maine, and Homer Price. He was the first artist to win the Caldecott Medal twice, for Make Way for Ducklings in 1942 and Time of Wonder in 1958.

His boyhood was spent in Hamilton, Ohio, and he attended the Vesper George School of Art in Boston. For most of his adult life, McCloskey lived in Maine, where he and his wife Peggy raised their two daughters, Sally and Jane. In 2000 Robert McCloskey was named a Living Legend by the Library of Congress.


EXCERPT
“ One morning in Maine, Sal woke up. She peeked over the top of the covers. The bright sunlight made her blink, so she pulled the covers up and was just about to go back to sleep when she remembered 'today is the day I am going to Buck's Harbor with my father!' ”
