Description

What does the Tooth Fairy do with all the teeth she collects? The mystery has been solved by Mary Catherine Rolston in the delightfully engaging Abbey's Dental Jewel. In ABC format, combined with alliterative verse, we follow Abbey through the experience of childhood which is universal - a wiggly, jiggly tooth and the problem of how to remove it! Through the author's colourfully vivid illustrations, we can join Abbey and her friends as they try to hurry the process along, dreaming of cash left under a pillow, and then learn of the magical miracles wrought by the Tooth Fairy and her nightly haul. Inspired by a real-life question from a real-life child, Mary Catherine Rolston has created a wonderful read-aloud. Teachers and parents will appreciate the extension activities at her website, www.mcrolston.com.
