About this title

Review:

Shortlisted for the Smarties Book Prize 1995, The Tooth Fairy is the story of a young girl who goes to bed and discovers that her tooth is loose. Then out it comes. She puts it inside a tooth box, places it under her pillow and falls asleep. The tooth fairy visits, finds the tooth box and the dream unfolds.

The illustrations in this story book are clearly portrayed, easy to follow and are marvellously detailed. They will appeal to any child who "believes" in tooth fairies. Furthermore, there is a tooth box and coin to construct and use. (Age 4 and up) --Susan Naylor

From the Inside Flap:

ess storyboard format and soft pastel drawings that have become his trademark, Peter Collington offers an enchanting solution to the age-old mystery of what the tooth fairy does with all those teeth!  He follows an industrious tooth fairy on an arduous night's work of creating a perfect silver coin and exchanging it for a precious baby tooth.  Back in her cozy parlor, she lovingly transforms her prize into a new ivory key for her broken piano, then sits down to play a tune.  The trade edition includes a make-it-yourself tooth box for commemorating a milestone of every childhood--losing the first baby tooth.
