When the old Tooth Mouse announces that it is time to name her successor, Sophie, the small mouse who would NOT go to bed, desperately hopes to be chosen. The three tasks she is assigned are difficult and dangerous, and some of the other mice believe that she is just too little to succeed. At times, Sophie even doubts herself. But sometimes, the wisest answer really is the simplest one -- and sometimes the best mouse for the job just might be the very smallest one.
This gentle fable introduces young readers to Sophie, a mouse who must prove she is brave, honest and wise in order to win her heart's desire. The story also introduces children to the Tooth Mouse, who delivers money to French children in exchange for their baby teeth. With its charming illustrations and lively prose, The Tooth Mouse is sure to delight anyone who has ever wondered what on earth happens to all those teeth.
