As you a glimpse into this magical kingdom, where all flying creatures live, you will see everyone doing jobs, but Mortina, the tooth fairy, has the most important job of all.

A Wonderful, character-defining story and beautifully illustrated. This book defines the tooth fairy much like the night before Christmas did with Christmas Eve. My daughter loves this book and has asked to read it EVERY night before bed following the loss of a tooth." -Jason, Amazon Review

"I took A Tooth Fairy Named Mort to bed to read to my granddaughter, and before I went to sleep, I fell in love with Mortina!"
-Yvonne SummertonBeautiful book! "We have had this beautiful book for a while now but reading it tonight was extra special. My daughter lost her first tooth, and she couldn’t wait to get home and read about Mort again. Once again, we were in awe of the illustrations and spent time closely examining each page. The story answers all of the questions a young child has about the tooth fairy and enriches the experience of losing a tooth. We love this and the author’s book, Santa’s Beard. I highly encourage this book purchase for anyone with a child nearing the toothless stage." -Amazon Review
A Tooth Fairy Named Mort is a beautiful, magical story revealing the answers to all your questions about fairyland. The rhythmic words float off the page and go straight to the heart. This book has some of the most wonderful illustrations I’ve seen, so I plan to get cozy and linger on the pages to soak up all the intricate details. Destined to be a classic. Children will ask you to read it to them again and again, and as a mother and grandmother, I assure you it will be your pleasure.
-Brinda Carey, AuthorFinally, a story that explains how it all takes place! A heartwarming, beautifully illustrated story for children and adults alike. We all need to hear the message of "letting go of the old to make room for the new." Highly recommend this magical piece of literature! -Suzanne J. Young

When I was young and lost a tooth, it was a harrowing event. But, after that first tooth, I was excited for any others to fall out. There was this magical entity, "The Tooth Fairy," (that was the name we knew her by) who would exchange a gift in return for the tooth. Although curious, no one ever explained who this tooth fairy was until Sharon Thayer shared this story with us. Beautiful illustrations and words express to us who, Mort, the tooth fairy is and what really happens to lost teeth.
I love this book! My son and I read it over and over! The artwork is truly amazing, always find something new you haven’t noticed before. Love how this book shows that even the smallest responsibility affects the people around you. Great way to inspire little, growing minds. A family favorite for sure!
