Caldecott Honor Book
 
When Sal loses her first tooth, she plans to put it under her pillow and make a wish.  But while she digs for
clams with Dad, she loses the tooth.  How can she make her wish?  Luckily a trip to Buck's Harbor helps to make Sal's wish come true.  This heartwarming story conveys McCloskey's deep love for the Maine islands.
   “The lovely Maine seacoast scenes and the doings of Sal with her family and friends are drawn with
enticing detail.”
