Synopsis

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.

About the Author:

Alan Durant is the author of more than forty children’s books.

My imagination immediately got to work, thinking about a possible exchange between a girl and the Tooth Fairy and where it might lead. So DEAR TOOTH FAIRY was born."

Vanessa Cabban (1972-2014) was the illustrator of Dear Tooth Fairy by Alan Durant; Down in the Woods at Sleepytime by Carole Lexa Schaefer; The Best Gift of All by Jonathan Emmett; and several other picture books.Of DEAR TOOTH FAIRY, she said, "Everything was tiny and magical in this story. It was irresistible. I wanted to be Holly."
