Bøger af Martin Nelson Burton

Little Marty hatches a plot to trick the Tooth Fairy with a paper tooth. But when the clever fairy finds out what he's done, watch out! He's about to learn that she has a strong sense of justice--and an even stronger sense of humor! The warm childhood memories of Martin Nelson Burton find a perfect home in Clint Hansen's paper sculpture wonderland. The sequence of wordless pages in the book - where the Tooth Fairy flies to the boy's house, reacts passionately to finding out that the boy has tried to trick her with a paper tooth, then devises her own strategy to "get even" - make for a wonderful prediction exercise for young readers. A storytelling treat, this charming picture book offers a true story from the author's childhood that kids will recognize as authentic, as they lose their baby teeth and get visits from the Tooth Fairy themselves.

The first friend I ever had was a leprechaun. We used to write to each other. I would leave notes for him at bedtime. In the morning, I would find his answer. So begins this true account of an enchanting correspondence that would last for seven years, and a friendship that would last a lifetime. The original childhood notes of Martin Nelson Burton and the warm, fatherly replies of Mr. Leprechaun spring to life in Clint Hansen's breathtaking paper sculpture world.
