When Pinkalicious looses a tooth, she excitedly anticipates the treasures left behind by Tootheetina, the tooth fairy who visits Pinkalicious. However, when Tootheetina is too busy helping out others with tooth (shall we say), issues?, Cupid, the Easter Bunny and Elf #351 step in to help her out. Pinkalious is NOT satisified, as the tooth she lost appears to be her sweet tooth and she just wants it back. When Tootheetina finally finds the time to respond to Pinkalicious' notes, Pinkalicious discovers where sweetness really comes from... and readers are sure to be surprised at this discovery!

This is a perfect book for little girls who are excitedly awaiting the arrival of the tooth fairy and those who are fans of Pinkalicious in general! Definitely worth sharing, as it's not only fun (and a favorite character) but teaches an important lesson, as well!

The tooth fairy has found a tooth and in doing her job, desperately wants to deliver a surprise to its rightful owner... however, she's not quite sure who that might be! Each page takes the reader on the Tooth Fairy's journey to deliver the surprise, as she tries to match it up to other teeth in the animals' mouths. Cut outs on each page show the tooth fairy attempting to determine if the tooth came from that animal and also explains how the teeth are used by each animal as they are presented. Finally, on the last page, a pull tab shows the tooth fairy as she matches the tooth to a sleeping little boy and is finally able to leave her surprise. The funny illustrations and use of animals, as well as the cut-outs and finally the pull tab at the end will have children begging to hear this story each time they lose a tooth!
