Product Description

An inquisitive little girl gives the Tooth Fairy a run for her money-and exchanges several removable messages-in this sweet, humorous story.

Dear Tooth Fairy,
Thank you for coming last night. . . . I have a few
questions. Why do you want my tooth?

Holly’s tooth has fallen out, but she’s not sure she wants to give it to
the Tooth Fairy just yet. She has a few questions to ask first, about how fairies operate and where her tooth will end up. Luckily, the obliging Tooth Fairy responds- five times! Readers will be tickled to reach inside real envelopes and find Holly’s missives from the Tooth Fairy, including removable letters, a poster, a riddle-teller, and—finally—a shiny fairy coin.

Customer Reviews

What a great book!
My 5 year old son lost his 1st tooth. When we went to look for Tooth Fairy books he didn't like all the "fairies". He wouldn't even consider this book because it was pink. I started reading it and loved it. When I read it to him at home he LOVED it! He got so excited to open the envelopes in the book. He had me play the riddler that came with over and over again. His eyes lit up when he found the gold fairy coin. It is one of his most requested storytime books. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Book for Little Girls
What a delightful book! The story is sweet (ver appropriate for ages 4-8). The story includes little notes, maps, pamphlets, etc. from the tooth fairy! My daughter reads it over and over. The illustrations are wonderful - a very magical, fairy-like theme!

A fantastic book for little girls!
This is a wonderful book - my four-yr old (now five) loved it and reads it all the time. The little letters & the "riddler" are just delightful! It is about a little girl named Holly who is reluctant to part with her first lost tooth. She corresponds back and forth with the Tooth Fairy several times until she finally decides to leave the tooth under her pillow & receives a special coin - included in one of the book's envelopes - in return.
