Title: Here Comes the Tooth Fairy Cat

Author: Deborah Underwood

Target: Presechool - Grade 3

Series: Yes

What this book is about:
This story is told as a conversation between cat and the narrator with our cat using pictures and our narrator deciphering what cat means. In this book cat has lost a tooth and the tooth fairy leaves a coin, but cat is not satisfied. He wanted to meet the illustrious tooth fairy. He thinks that perhaps tricking her with the tooth of a comb might work, but in fact the fairy lets him know that if cat helps her with a few deliveries, they will be able to meet. Of course, nothing is easy as cat gets an unexpected assistant - mouse. These two are not know to get along but they must work together or cat’s hopes of meeting the tooth fairy will never be realized.

Why I love this book:
I love all the books in this series which include Here Comes Santa Cat and Here Comes the Easter Cat. They are clever funny and the illustrations by Claudia Rueda are spot on. Just the delightful facial expressions drawn by Rueda make this book hysterical as a read aloud and the narrator as the straight man plays perfectly with our challenging cat.

Who this book is for:
Well kids who like to laugh of course! If your kids loved Here Comes the Easter Cat or Here Comes Santa Cat, they will not be disappointed with this latest installment.

Final thoughts:
This might be a fun gift to find under the pillow in exchange for a tooth! Just saying!

I am a mom of three with a passion for literature! No matter what book series our kids devour, as they come to an end, we as parents ask the inevitable question - what is next? I am ever on the job, trying to answer that question. I try to do it with a variety of books. Some are silly, some true to life, some pure fantasy, but in the end I hope they make my children love words, explore new ideas, and laugh!
