About the book...
Find out where the tooth fairy takes all those lost teeth in this laugh-out-loud new picture book, perfect for fans of School’s First Day of School.

Toothy lives in Liam’s mouth next to his best friend Fang. He’s a good tooth—sparkly and strong, and he loves doing the floss.

One day, Toothy notices that he is loose and panics! Where will he go after he leaves his comfy spot next to Fang? After a crunchy apple seals the deal, Toothy is tucked under Liam’s pillow. When the Tooth Fairy appears, she takes Toothy to the Museum of Lost Teeth. It’s a more incredible place than Toothy could have ever imagined. It’s filled with new friends and fun activities like Tooth or Dare! Toothy finds a new home on the Firsts Floor, where first baby teeth are proudly displayed.


In the tradition of School’s First Day of School, The Museum of Lost Teeth answers the question “Where do all the lost teeth go?” in this unexpected and hilarious picture book.

From cover to unde-cover, inside the cover pages to the back side cover pages, and EVERYTHING in between, this is one story that gets stuck in your teeth in the BEST way possible.  It's charming, it's witty.  It's filled with adventure for Toothy, as well as a new world of dental care for Liam.  It's educational while still being whimsical, and allowing kids to simply be kids for a while longer.  If you've ever had a question about the Tooth Fairy, all the how, why, where, and when types, this book overs in its own unique way an explanation as to their ability to get to so many teeth losers each night, what happens to the teeth left behind, and the simple fact that no tooth gets left behind!  A new adventure awaits both the tooth that has lost its owner, as well as for the owner that lost their tooth.

I love how the author approaches the topic because some wee ones can get very upset about losing a tooth.  It's not just about the payment for the lost item, but the fact that it's a slightly scary and new situation that they are trying to wrap their minds around while seemingly saying goodbye to their younger days.  With style and finesse, the author and illustrator team up to deliver a plausible after for the tooth and its buddy's, while making it clear that Liam will never forget them, but in a positive way.  The puns throughout are hilarious, adding just the right amount of humor to an already whimsical story that will cause giggles in all ages.  Special note, I mentioned the interior of the cover and back pages.  Make sure you read the letters shared by the tooth fairies!  You'll get a kick out of them.

All in all, a new way to approach the legend, and the myth, without punching holes in the glass ceiling of childhood belief.  We all know those clear walls of fascination come down at some point, but the longer they last, the more imagination can grow, and there's nothing like a bit of wishes and dreams to spice up an average day!
