A Great Story to Teach About the Tooth Fairy!



Have you heard of  El Ratón Pérez, the charming and adventurous mouse who collects children’s teeth in Spain and Latin America? (Affiliate Link provided at no cost to you)
In this story, “The Tooth Fairy Meets El Ratón Perez” the author brings together two totally different cultures and traditions into a beautiful story.  The story revolves around Miguelito’s lost tooth and how the Tooth Fairy and El Ratón Pérez wants to claim Miguelito’s tooth.  Miguelito lives in the United States therefore he is inside the Tooth Fairy’s territory, but her Hispanic counterpart, El Ratón Pérez, is not ready to relinquish his duty to Latino children!   
The author does an excellent job of conveying a message of acceptance and how there is no need to choose between the two. The storyline is in English with some Spanish words sprinkled throughout, AND the illustrations are beautiful! I love this book! It brings back childhood memories with my grandmother.   Try it out! Your kids will love the story.
