Chapter One
For Miles and Miles, there were piles and piles of teeth. What would Tilly the tooth fairy do with all of those teeth? What could she do with all of those teeth? Tilly didn't know what to do, but she had to do something soon because if she didn't ... the people of Tinsel Tooth Town would have to pack up and move!
Each night, Tilly traveled around the world and watched as the children hid their fallen teeth under their pillows, wishing for the tooth fairy to find them. When she flew down to gather those teeth, she tucked them into her special bag. Under each of their pillows, she placed a small token of love. She kissed her fingertips lightly and pressed them gently to their foreheads. "Sweet dreams my angels," she whispered, before flying off.
One evening, when it came time to return home, Tilly looked at the sack that hung heavily from her shoulder. A lump grew in her throat and the tears she'd been holding back flowed freely down her cheeks. Tilly struggled over to her favourite chair and then placed her head between her hands. "Whatever will I do with all of these teeth?" she sobbed.
As it awoke from a deep sleep, her tooth-filled bag began to wiggle and in a soft voice it spoke, "You can do anything, if only you'd try. Don't let your happiness just pass you by. Believe in yourself, do something! Be BOLD! And at the end of that rainbow ... You just might find GOLD!" There was a moment of silence before it added, "So don't sit there and fret, now do as I say.
Get rid of those teeth ... Where there's a will, there's a way!"
Tilly sprang to her feet. "Aha!" she shouted. "I have a plan!" She raced to the kitchen, put some teeth in a pot and tried popping them like popcorn. But, they wouldn't pop! And they sure didn't taste like popcorn! YUCK! She spat out a tooth.
Tilly hurried into the living room and turned on the fireplace. She toasted a tooth over that open fire and watched for it to puff up soft and marshmallow mushy. But it wouldn't! And it didn't taste like a marshmallow either! She spat out another tooth.
