My Milk Toof: The Adventures of ickle and Lardee

By Inhae Lee

When two baby teeth came knocking at her door, artist Inhae Lee did what anyone would do: she invited them to live with her and started photographing their hilarious, miniature antics. The resulting blog phenomenon has captivated legions of devoted fans with its refreshingly sweet sentiment and hip appeal. Featuring brand-new stories alongside classic adventures, My Milk Toof follows two baby teeth named ickle and Lardee as they navigate the pleasures and perils of being very small in a very big world. With perfect comedic timing, the photographic tales in this book explore the world from the tiny perspective of a baby tooth (or milk toof), from taking a bath to exploring the outside world. Showcasing the intricate handcrafted universe that Lee has created, My Milk Toof has a quirky appeal that speaks to all ages. Whether they're baking a cake or spending a day at the pool, these two little guys are achingly sweet—but without the cavities.

Reviews for My Milk Toof

[bjasmine_5 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Children need books like this to expand their imagination, and at any age, relearn the ability to imagine using internal resources and see possibilities in every day things. I am not keen on any substitution for the imagination, and this is a great introductory reminder of that, a combination of luxurious tender care and crisp humour weaving through it. I look forward to more adventures by this author.

I love this book, if I'm feeling down just looking at the images in it makes me feel happier. I first came across Inhae Lee's work on her blog of the same name and loved it enough to buy the book when it came out.The sheer creativity and talent in this book is mind blowing, the images are both simple and incredibly complex and the humor just shines through.I really can't stress enough how happy these images, characters and stories make me.
