This fast-paced story with numerous full-color cartoon illustrations will appeal to primary-grade students and will serve as a springboard to the popular "Cam Jansen" books that are on a more challenging reading level.Gale W.

Horn Book Review
Super-sleuth Cam (short for 'the Camera') Jansen fails to find her friend Annie's missing tooth. After much thought and a chance comment, Cam finally retrieves the tooth from the apple Annie had munched on, proving to herself and a skeptical classmate that her photographic memory and detective skills are still incisor-sharp. Colorful illustrations complement this latest installment in the engaging series. From HORN BOOK 1997, (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Booklist Review
Gr. 1^-2. In the latest Cam Jansen chapter-book mystery in the Viking Easy-to-Read series, Cam uses her photographic memory to find Annie's lost tooth. New readers will like the grade-school detective story, and Natti's cheerful line-and-watercolor illustrations help set the scene in art class, quiet reading time, and the rush for the school bus. --Hazel Rochman
