Mabel, a blue-skinned, green-haired, pink-winged fairy is, unfortunately, almost toothless. (The result of not brushing, flossing, and visiting her dentist regularly.) One day she hits upon the perfect idea: She will become a tooth fairy! With all the teeth she collects—and some really, really, really, really sticky glue—she will make herself a new set of choppers!
"After a while, Mabel had an impressive selection of molars, bicuspids, canines, and lateral incisors. But no matter how many teeth she tried, she never found the perfect fit."
Alas, after all her hard work, she finds herself alone with no friends and no teeth to call her own.
So, it's off to the WikiWikiWacky Seaside Resort for a little R&R. She beachcombs, she snorkels, she plays tennis, she lies on the beach supping on applesauce and Jell-O through a straw. Such is the life of a toothless fairy.
One day, at a sand castle contest, she meets Dr. Les Payne, who just happens to be a dentist. With their mutual affinity for teeth, they become quick friends. Life was good for Mabel. But soon she realizes all the little toothless tykes are missing her. She simply has to get back to work! Would this be the end of her one and only friendship?
No! Luckily Les has a plan. Mabel will be his dental assistant during the day and the tooth fairy at night. Of course, working for a dentist has its perks—like free floss and comprehensive dental coverage. And so our toothy tale ends with Mabel dazzling us with her new, bright, white smile.
The story itself is clever and quite funny. The colorful, cartoon-like illustrations make it doubly so.

This story is very funny. It is about Mabel who has no teeth because she never kept them clean. She also never went to the dentist. She deicdes that she will become a toothfairy and collect teeth and eventually glue them in her mouth so she will have teeth. This story can be used to teach children the importance of going to the dentist and keeping their teeth clean!

Mabel the tooth fairy is looking for a set a teeth because she doesn't have any of her own. She goes on vacation and realizes all the children miss her. She finds a dentist on vacation and returns home to be his assistant and work as a tooth fairy at night. She gets her own set of teeth from the dentist and smiles every day from then on. This book has cartoon-like illustrations. It would be a good book to read to younger students who are starting to lose their teeth.
