You’ve heard of the Tooth Fairy, but what about Tooth Larry?

As I read, I kept thinking of parents whose child would love this book.
It's whimsical and filled with bright, beautiful art. The concept was new and refreshing. It also gives parents the perfect explanation to give their children when they awake only to find no money under their pillow. This book was truly a sweet short read that I can't recommend enough.

If you're a teacher, parent, librarian, or a just a fan of short, colorful books, do check it out! I know I'll definitely be buying a couple copies for the children in my family.

Cute story about the brother of the Tooth Fairy. As good as the tooth fairy is, Tooth Larry is the opposite. This wage of different personalities between the two siblings might explain not getting money when you lose your tooth. Just maybe. A fun story for the young at heart.

I loved this book. I'm not sure if this was the intention, but I thought this book was really good to have out there as some families do not have money to put under the child's pillow for a lost tooth. And even if you don't teach your child about the tooth fairy, they will still learn about it. My 3 year old came home one day talking about how she can't wait to lose teeth and meet the tooth fairy.

What a fun Children's Book about the Tooth Fairy's greedy brother! The story is excellent and the illustrations are super cute. I would love to have a copy or two for my Little Free Library.

This book better be on Amazon prime one day shipping because parents will definitely need it when there's nothing under the pillow!
It's so cute and lyrical. It's perfectly written to be entertaining at the age when kids are losing their teeth. The illustrations are great, cartoonish is not usually my favorite style for books but they match the story so richly I can't help but like them.

Read to my son and he thought it was the best book ever! Really enjoyed the story and the illustrations were amazing!
Overall, it's an adorable book that I wouldn't mind having a physical copy for him at home!

I have a confession, I am a household that the tooth fairy has skipped before! We thought it was because maybe our house was too messy, we cleaned and thankfully she returned the next night and left some money in the tooth pillow. Now I know, she has a brother named Larry who is up to no good! This story is delightful. I love the cadence of the words, as well as the wonderful illustrations. I would definitely share this title with all the parents I know that may have a Larry that robs children of their tooth fairy money.

Tooth Larry is a jerk!

Right after his sister, the tooth fairy, leaves money for children, he sneaks in and grabs it, leaving the children very upset. She finally catches him and bougie Larry sells his ill-gotten goods so he can return the money. This does not last.

Um, this might be a good book for parents to have on hand in case they forget to leave money under the pillow...

My 6-year-old recently lost her first tooth, so she’s been a little obsessed with all things Tooth Fairy! She was engaged throughout and really enjoyed the story. She didn’t think Larry was behaving very well at all, which made for some fun discussions while we were reading. She especially liked the way the Tooth Fairy sorted everything out in the end. A lovely story for children who are excited about losing their teeth.

Recommended age 0-10 years.

Such a fun concept! What parent hasn't forgotten to leave money under their child's pillow? Now there's Larry to explain away our shortcomings! Every home with children needs this book!

This was such a treat! I read this with my 6 yr old who actually has her first loose tooth! She had a friend in class who didn’t get any money for one of her teeth (I mean truly, my parents definitely forgot to give us money once or twice) so this was a perfect way to explain that away!

The illustrations were colorful and silly! Definitely able to keep children entertained. I loved everything about this, Larry needs to be stopped!

What a brilliant children's book!

I loved it from start to finish. The artwork is just on another level, absolutely beautiful. I loved the almost Manga style to the characters, and how the colours were harmonious throughout.

The story was also hilarious. The best rhyme of all time goes to
"and rolled Larry up like an armadillo!"

My granddaughter will be 3 soon and I have put this on her birthday list as I think she will love it as much as I do!

I love losing tooths but it is kind to not steal teeth, losing teeth is super special when you leave that tooth under your pillow and you fall asleep, you get some money, but if the tooth Larry comes to your house, you’re not find it because he got the money from the tooth fairy
-Allie, age 7

This was a really fun read to enjoy with my niece who had just the day before lost a tooth and was guarding it for the right time to put it under her pillow. We discussed how our actions can impact others with this story as a great guide.

Tooth Larry is a delightfully charming & quirky story! I absolutely loved the illustrations & how perfectly they complemented the personality & humor of the story. Tooth Larry may be a thief, but he’s surprisingly lovable, while Tooth Fairy radiates kindness & compassion, even toward her troublesome brother.

I also appreciated how the story uses humor to introduce lessons about stealing & greed while emphasizing kindness, forgiveness, & redemption. This would be an adorable read for little ones who have started losing their teeth.
