Instead of rewarding his daughters with just a monetary gift he gave them a few coins and a copy of the book "Throw Your Tooth on the Roof," that describes tooth traditions around the world. For each subsequent tooth, they repeated the same tradition, this time with a new cultural tale and respective coins. What a terrific idea to take this tooth fairy tradition and give our children the gift of a book and knowledge about a different culture...Bravo Mom and Dad - job well done! I admit, I will be stealing this idea when my children lose their teeth too...
