Answer 2

A literal translation of "tooth fairy" would be "hada de los dientes". However, in most countries I'm familiar with, the being that takes away the milk teeth that children shed, and leaves some kind of treat - usually a coin - is not a fairy, but a mouse: Ratón Pérez.

In the US we have the "tooth fairy" and like Raton Perez, she leaves a gift..ususally a coin. - MexGuy, Mar 19, 2010

Answer 3

El cuento del ratoncito Perez

(The story itself is written for children and has simple grammar and vocabulary if someone wants to practice a translation and post if for proofreading). (I know because I could read it, that it has to be simple).

Great Quentin - II could read and understand it too. Thanks. :) - ian-hill, Mar 19, 2010
