Synopses & Reviews
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?
Hollys tooth has fallen out, but shes 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 Hollys missives from the Tooth Fairy, including removable letters, a poster, a riddle-teller, and—finally—a shiny fairy coin.
