Summary
"Long, long ago, ages before the Tooth Fairy, there lived in Spain a special kind of mouse--a Tooth Mouse--who collected children's lost baby teeth. Here you will discover the amazing and true story of one of them, Tooth Mouse Pérez, and his descendants, one of whom traveled all the way to New York City, where she became known as the Tooth Fairy!" -- Back cover.
Though the world is very different from when his Tooth Mouse descendants worked, a Tooth Mouse named Pérez continues his ancestors' tradition and brings children their permanent teeth.
