The story is about a little girl whose tooth is loose. Although it sounded like an original story, it was quite boring to read next to that the drawings were dark. Not much conversation going on then every time the same.

(Read with little sister as part of the "1,001 Children's Books To Read")

What a fantastic book! I loved traveling all over the world with her. Fun way to read in circles, too.

Wow, this is a visually dense book, packed with details and numerous styles of illustrations. It can only be a Peter Sis book! How lovely that even though Madlenka's world is seemingly small, her horizons expand so that a walk around the block becomes a walk around the world. The representations of different cultures and ethnicities were a bit tokenistic and it's a shame that Australia missed out (hello, we're down here, between Asia and Antarctica!) on the tour of continents, but it's a nice way to introduce children to urban diversity.
