Illustrated by
Jake Parker.
Unwilling to part with his baby teeth, Nathan tucks them away in some tricky hiding spots. A by-the-book (and increasingly exasperated) tooth fairy finds them all, but the last tooth's concealment (among the rocks in the tarantula's tank) has her packing for vacation. Comical illustrations in muted nighttime hues depict the clever inventiveness of each side in this contest of wills.
