Larry Skadarry the Forgetful Tooth Fairy
You know that moment when your 6-year-old loses a tooth, puts it under their pillow and then waits eagerly for the next morning.... except you completely forgot about it?Explain why the magic sometimes runs a little late with Larry Skadarry!Tooth fairies have a lot on their plates. Sometimes they forget, or get distracted, or can't make it to an ATM because there's a blizzard during a pandemic. And sometimes, your tooth gets assigned to one well-meaning, but very forgetful, tooth fairy named Larry Skadarry.This hilarious rhyming story follows Larry Skadarry's adventures as they take him from an owl's nest to the beach to Paris - everywhere except to the kids' teeth he's supposed to be collecting.Larry Skadarry is the latest from author Whitney Beatty, whose magical stories, inspired by her own parenting mistakes, aim to make life a little easier for parents. Let Larry take the blame and keep the magical thinking alive in your house – even after those forgetful, too-much-on-your-plate nights!

This rythmical story was a joy to read.
To be perfectly honest the book cover did not grab me and I wasn't a fan of the name Larry Skadarry. It was only as I progressed through the tale that I realised it was an American pronunciation . In the UK we say 'La-ree Ska-da-ree' in the story it rhymes with airy fairy so 'Lair-ee Ska-dairy. When I sussed that out the story flowed beautifully. One of the best rhytmical reads in a while. Happy Reading Book Lovers 📚📖🌹

A very toothsome tail!
Larry Scaderry is a wonderful way
To let little ones know they weren’t forgotten today.
They’ll know he’ll get to it-as soon as he can,
Then they will be paid, by the tooth fairy ma.

Perfect for the forgetting parent-fairy
An excellent combination of humor and rhyme make this a great read. Bonus: my kid thinks Larry is assigned to her (oops!)

This is great for parents too!
As a mom of three kids I highly appreciated this tooth fairy story. Our fairy has forgotten to stop by two days in a row and this story has imagination and beautiful-silly illustrations that help children understand why!! It was so creative and the rhyme was on point. Highly recommend!

Great story
This is a fantastic little book, full of humour and great illustrations. I’m pretty sure I would be an awful tooth fairy too! Really good rhyming book that’s fun to read.

So cute and funny
What a cute and funny story about the most forgetful tooth fairy of all time! I enjoyed this rhyming story and it's really a creative spin on the tooth fairy tale.

Cute story!
Cute story! Enjoyed the rhyming and the idea of different tooth fairies. My only critique is that in a few places it was hard to see the wording due to the illustrations.

3.5*
A pretty set of pictures with an interesting tale, see the joys of life and find a new shell. Sadly though I felt a bit lacking, a whole in the tale that I struggled to see. Larry never learns and the children left disappointed is sad to see.

Kids will love this book as they follow along as Larry Skadarry, a tooth fairy, gets easily distracted as he goes about his day.
It’s fun to learn what happens to all the teeth that fall out.

I found the world of Larry Skadarry mesmerizing and hilarious. So grateful for this enlightening story clearly explaining why a tooth may end up under a pillow for a little too long. Clever rhymes and adorable illustrations make it the perfect read aloud for anyone, especially those with loose teeth.
