Children learn that if they don’t brush, they might get a visit from someone other than the Tooth Fairy in Jack the Tooth Rat. 

Ross is excited when he loses a tooth, because that means the Tooth Fairy will come when he falls asleep.  But Ross hasn’t done a good job of keeping his teeth healthy and clean. The Tooth Fairy doesn’t want any teeth with cavities. 

When bad teeth fall out, a different visitor comes calling who isn’t nearly as nice: Jack the Tooth Rat!   

This modern teaching tale will delight children while imparting a valuable lesson on the importance of taking good care of their teeth. With a rich sense of humor and delightful illustrations, Ross’ experience with Jack the Tooth Rat provides the perfect way of explaining that teeth with cavities won’t get rewards.

About the Author

Author and illustrator Leah Westen is a single mother of two grown children who continue to inspire her writings and illustrations.  When discussing with a friend how much money the Tooth Fairy should leave, it occurred to Leah that children with bad brushing habits would learn an important lesson if she didn’t come – and so Jack the Tooth Rat was born!  This is Leah’s first publication though she has plans for more children’s books in the future.
