“A clever, humorous, and joyful tooth story” – Kirkus Review

 

Book Description:

Lulu cannot wait for a visit from the Tooth Fairy and get a pony with her Tooth Fairy money. And Trixie cannot wait to finally become an official Tooth Fairy. Everything would be perfect, if only Trixie would show up!

​Will Lulu get her pony? Will Trixie ever become an official Tooth Fairy? Find out in this humorous yet heartwarming tale that encourages us to never stop believing and that everything is possible with a little will power. And learn a thing or two about tooth traditions and tooth collectors of the world! 

 

My Thoughts:

What an adorable and in a literary way the truth about tooth fairies. At least from a parent's perspective. I also have massively failed in being the tooth fairy, though I must say I am a good "Santa Clause". In this lively tale we go along with Lulu, the young girl who lost the tooth, and Trixie, the tooth fairy, and her adventures on trying to get to Lulu and her tooth.

I chuckled at Trixie's mishaps and felt deep pity for Lulu as she just assumed she was forgotten. As I am reading this, I am thinking my kids have got to read this too. Now mind you all of my kids but one is past the tooth fairy stage, but all of them will certainly feel for Lulu and quite possibly have some pity for Trixie.

Bright and beautiful illustrations make this book a lovely addition to any library and home library. The author notes in the back about other tooth traditions were enlightening and I found other culture's traditions interesting. It is certainly a fun one to pass down to future generations. A favorite for this mom who couldn't quite master being the tooth fairy either.

I was provided a copy of this book from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

Meet the Author:

S. E. Richey was born in New York and moved to Puerto Rico with her family when she was four years old. She grew up in the mountains of La Cordillera Central of Puerto Rico. She spoke four-year-old English and Spanish, but soon forgot English. She loved running around her grandparents’ finca, picking wild strawberries, sucking on ripe coffee beans (so sweet!), sugar cane (so sweet!), and searching for cow pies with her siblings and cousins (not so sweet.).

At age eighteen, S. E. Richey swore she would never live in another small town in the country where she had to drive through a canyon with lots of curvy roads just to get to the city. Oh, how dizzy and nauseous those curves made her!

She moved to the United States where she attended college in a small town in Idaho, married and lived in a small town in California (her second home) with lots and lots of curves just to get to the city (yes, she got dizzy and nauseated), and now she lives in a small-ish town in Idaho with her husband and four children. Their two dogs, Roscoe and Cali, and Conan, the fat cat, complete the family. She loves to sing WAY too loudly in the car. She loves Dulce de Leche ice cream (even if it hurts her tummy). And she loves to read and write silly stories that make her giggle and stories that tug at the heartstrings.
