The beauty of reading.

These are REAL letters that went between a lovely 5 year old, with a great sense of humour (“Princess”!) and the tooth fairy today. The tooth fairy initiated the contact. The child responded by dictating her response and then reading it back very easily .. of course because it was HER story! Tonight her tooth lies expectantly under her pillow.. do you hear the distant sound of fairy wings…and the clutter of coins?

Dear Lucia
You don’t know me. So let me introduce myself. I am the tooth fairy.
And I have been told about you by a very wise Nana.
She says you have a tooth that that is wiggling and wobbling and jiggling its way loose.
And so I have come by to tell you that I am watching and waiting.
Please can I have your tooth to add to my collection.
I promise to pay you well.
Lots of love
The Tooth Fairy

Dear Tooth Fairy,
I just have great news to tell you.
It’s about my tooth.
It’s so exciting, my tooth came out.
And tooth fairy, would you mind giving me a present as well as my money?
And I hope you love my tooth.
From wise Princess Lucia.
