![]() The Tooth Fairy was the first wordless book I ever read I found it in my elementary school's library. When I think wordless picture book, this one immediately comes to mind. I will definitely be seeking out more of Collington's work, and thank my friend Hilary for making me aware of this one. ![]() ![]() The artwork was just beautiful here, and more than enough to carry the story. I also liked the use to which the fairy put the tooth. I particularly enjoyed the underground scenes in which the fairy labors to create the coin, as they were wholly unexpected. The second wordless picture-book I have read from Collington, following upon his lovely On Christmas Eve, The Tooth Fairy offer a creative interpretation and enhancement of the classic story of the fairy that exchanges a coin for children's baby teeth. In a surprise ending, the fairy has a particular use for the tooth. The tooth fairy living in a nearby tree, in the meantime, carefully crafts the coin she will exchange for the girl's tooth. ![]() ![]() The artwork depicts a young girl losing her tooth and, with the help of her mother, placing it carefully under her pillow. British picture-book artist Peter Collington presents a beautifully-realized wordless tale in The Tooth Fairy. ![]()
