Hello, Ninja. Goodbye, Tooth!

This book was perfect for a party favor for a Hello Ninja party theme.

My kid has asked me to read this book--and it's companion volume, "Hello Stage Fright"--to her multiple times every day since it arrived. I usually do, because the story and the art are imaginative and fun. So many kids books slowly drive a parent insane. So many kids books these days are full of art that is bad, or even purposefully ugly. Hello Ninja is so much better.In this one, Wesley has a loose tooth. His friend Georgie helps him pull it, promising him a payday from Captain Dart--who's way better than the Tooth Fairy. Hijinks ensue as the pair lose the pulled tooth, travel to the land of Ninja, ride a dragon to chase a magpie, sneak past a serpent, and realize that missing out on a payday can be a lot more rewarding.One thing to note on reading level: While it's marked as a Level 1 book by the publisher, HarperCollins, in their "I Can Read!" series, it's notably more advanced than a Level 1 book in Random House's "Step into reading" series. Younger ones will be listening to you read this, before they can read it themselves.

Great for age 5

We needed a ninja book for a literacy parade. We found this one and it was perfect and the story was great for my 6 year old.

I got this for my 1st grade class as a take home gift and it was a hit
