Intro to the Book

Tooth Fairy has too many teeth! With nowhere left to store them, she’ll have to sell them instead.

Tooth Fairy has run out of space! She’s collected too many teeth, and now she doesn’t know where to put them. She decides to set up a tooth sale, but the teeth are too popular, and soon none are left. But her customers want more, and Tooth Fairy needs to find a solution! Rollicking rhyme and charmingly illustrated characters bring this fun tale about creative problem-solving to life.

  • A fun, fast-paced story told in rollicking rhyme.
  • Children will be delighted with the unexpected twists and turns of Tooth Fairy’s tale.
  • Charmingly illustrated characters bring this book to life.
  • Expand the reach of this story with Teacher Notes, featuring discussion prompts and fun activities for children.

How to use ‘Just Enough Teeth’ and these teaching notes:

All children’s literature should, first and foremost, be read for enjoyment. We should be encouraging our students to listen, engage and imagine when we read aloud. Not every story we share needs to be analysed or studied. For this reason, we don’t include comprehension-style discussion questions in our teaching notes. However, some texts lend themselves beautifully as a
springboard into an array of curriculum areas and activities, allowing children to still enjoy the story as it is, but also use it as inspiration to investigate and explore.

Pitched at children aged 3–8 years, Just Enough Teeth can of course be enjoyed by all ages. While these teaching notes are designed to cater for students in Foundation (Kindergarten) to Year 2, according to the Australian Curriculum, there is nothing to stop teachers of older children from expanding on these ideas and linking them to curriculum outcomes.
