My Review

I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy from iRead Book Tours. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

Lulu has been waiting to lose a tooth because she wants the money to buy a pony. Unfortunately, Trixie is about to become a Tooth Fairy but doesn’t have things quite nailed down yet. She ends up going to the wrong address! Trixie is determined to get Lulu’s tooth but when things go wrong again, she thinks she may have to give up until she remembers Grandma Fairy saying that everything is possible with a little fairy dust and a lot of willpower. Will she make it to Lulu this time?

This is an adorable story with bright and colorful illustrations. After the story, there’s information about how different cultures have different traditions when a child loses a baby tooth. So, it’s a fun book but it’s also educational. My favorite kind of children’s book!

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.
