The story comes from the book, 'The Tooth Fairy'
By Anita Feagles. It tells the tale of a cute little waif girl
who works harder than the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus, because
she works all year round.
She loves teeth and has
buckets of them that she sorts into boxes of girl’s teeth, boy’s
teeth, top teeth, bottom teeth, extra teeth, etc. She uses teeth
to decorate her fish bowl, and a jar on the kitchen shelf. She
paves the path to her house with teeth; she has garlands of
teeth outside the house. She has a party for all the fairies
once a year and they all get gifts of teeth and play games with
teeth. The reason she loves teeth so much is because she does
not have any of her own. Nothing is mentioned about putting
money under the pillow.
