Hi Kid Lit Friends!
Happy August! It’s me, Liberty. I’m stepping in so Karina can have a little break, but don’t worry, she’ll be back soon. For my theme today, I am doing books about the Tooth Fairy! It was actually María Cristina’s idea, because we were talking about how much we love Tallulah the Tooth Fairy CEO, which you’ll see below, along with a bunch of other fun books! I had no idea there were so many books about the Tooth Fairy. Have fun brushing up on them! (Sorry not sorry.) (Please note that all descriptions come from the publisher.)
