(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tom Lintern. The Tooth Fairy and her counterpart, mouse El Ratón Pérez, argue over Miguelito's tooth, which sparkles brightly in Lintern's illustrations. Ultimately, the two learn to work together and share the tooth. Colato Laínez's tale is message-y (honor your heritage; cooperate with others) but entertaining. The back matter about the folkloric figures is engaging. Spanish words appear throughout the text. Glos.
