More About the Author

Natasha Wing was born in Milford, Connecticut and now lives in Fort Collins, Colorado. After graduating from Arizona State University she married Daniel Wing and worked in advertising for a number of years. It wasn't until 1991 that she decided to write children's books. Luckily she sold her first book within six months and has been writing children's books and articles ever since.

"I'm curious about many things- people, holidays, underdogs, little known historic figures - and translate my excitement for a topic into books for kids to enjoy. I mostly write picture books, but after 20 years, I'm also writing middle grade novels and easy reads. Cross your fingers they get published! Story ideas are popping into my head all the time, so you never know what my next book will be. But that's what's so fun about writing."

This review is from: The Night Before the Tooth Fairy (Paperback)

I purchased this book to read to my 5 year old after learning that her bottom tooth was loose. I wanted to find a book that would prepare her for the Tooth Fairy. This book was a big hit and perfect choice for my daughter! She, and even my 3 year old, loved the rhyming and funny story lines, as well as the bright colors. I think this book should be a classic for welcoming the Tooth Fairy!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Night Before the Tooth Fairy (Paperback)

I recommend The night befor the tooth fairy by natasha wing.The genre is fiction.There once was a boy who had a lose tooth and he wanted to take it out.His parents kept telling him to eat something and he said "no" and he even said that to his dad to not yank his tooth out with the door knob.I like this book because it's very funny and I like the part when the dad said "lets yank your tooth out with the door knob,I hope you will read this book because it's funny and you might like funny books and it's even sooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool.
