Dear Tooth Fairy - Tapa dura

A little girl gives the Tooth Fairy a run for her money — and exchanges several removable messages — in a special mini version of this sweet, humorous story.

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.

Alan Durant is the author of more than forty children’s books. He says, "When I was doing some work with children one time, I met a girl named Lily who had a whole collection of beautifully illustrated letters from the Tooth Fairy. 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." Alan Durant has three young children and lives in Surrey, England.

Vanessa Cabban has written and illustrated several books for children and is also the illustrator of DOWN IN THE WOODS AT SLEEPYTIME by Carole Lexa Schaefer. Of DEAR TOOTH FAIRY, she says, "Everything
was tiny and magical in this story. It was irresistible. I wanted to be Holly." Vanessa Cabban lives in Northumberland, England.
