Island author talks ‘Lost Tooth’ at Eagle Harbor

Bainbridge Island author Jennifer Mann will visit Eagle Harbor book Company to read and discuss her new book, “Josie’s Lost Tooth!” at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 20.

She’ll be joined by Bremerton author Toni Yuly, bringing along her great preschool books.

Josie is the monkey bars champion, the first one to read a whole book by herself, and the second-fastest runner in her class. But she’s the worst at losing teeth — the only kid in her class who still has all her baby teeth!

One night, Josie finally feels a tooth wiggle, just a little, and she can’t wait to show her best friend, Richard. But nothing makes the tooth fall out — not hanging upside down, chomping on an apple, or even pulling on the tooth with a string — until Josie trips and goes splat and the tooth is lost for good. Now what can she leave under her pillow for the tooth fairy?

Mann was an architect before turning to writing children’s books. “Two Speckled Eggs” was the first book that she wrote and illustrated.
