Nice Try, Tooth Fairy

This is a delightful book I have used with kindergartners. They are just starting to lose their teeth so can identify with Emma. We all feel sorry for the confused tooth fairy who needs a better filing system!

Twenty Thumbs up from Ms. Stevenson's Pre-School Class

Every year I look forward to when the first kid in my class looses a tooth so I can share this book with my class! The little girl in the book has lost her first tooth and wants to show the tooth to her Grandfather when he comes to visit. The only problem is she's already given it to the Tooth Fairy. The girl writes the tooth fairy a letter asking to borrow the tooth to show her grandfather...the story that follows is hilarious! My students laugh out loud as the absent-minded tooth fairy tries to return the little girl's tooth, but keeps leaving all kinds teeth that could never belong to a child.We give this book 20 thumbs up!

We don't believe in the tooth fairy, but we bought this book

This is a charming book with wonderful illustrations! The frazzled tooth fairy and the whimsical tone of the child's letters are appealing to little ones.
