Synopsis

From the bestselling picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks comes The Tooth Fairy and the Crocodile, a fun-filled adventure starring the bravest and most loveable tooth fairy around!

Ruth Mary the tooth fairy is used to collecting teeth from under the pillows of sleeping children, not animals. But when the Fairy Queen sends her off to the jungle, Ruth Mary doesn't mind. Everything goes well until she collects the tooth of a crocodile, who wakes up and decides that Ruth Mary looks like a tasty snack . . . and with her wings not working, how will the tooth fairy escape?

A brilliantly illustrated story from the creators of the What the Ladybird Heard series, which have sold over four million copies worldwide - perfect for any child with a wobbly tooth!
