Cheap Bread

A few days ago I bought some rock hard demi baguette bread for my son Caleb, who is having wisdom teeth issues. He gnaws on the bread and it gives him some relief from his discomfort.

My daughters served a few loaves of that bread with our spaghetti the other night. As we all sat around “chewing” on that devil bread, I said “Boy, if you don’t have loose teeth before eating this bread, you will afterwards!”

Not five minutes later, my son Elijah said “Whoa, I just lost my tooth!” Sure enough, one of his semi-loose teeth popped out of his mouth.

I think the Tooth Fairy forgot to deliver that night. He, I mean she, must’ve been visiting the dentist with her own loose teeth.

Dentists from Aspen to Rifle to Edwards, Colorado have been buying my new book entitled “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” (www.jerrybegly.com) .Why dentists? Because they can put the book in their waiting room, or give it to friends or family. One dentist told me that he was going to send the book to his son in Florida because his son is a dentist, and has a son of his own.  So dentists can now celebrate National Children’s Book Week www.bookweekonline.com with their own copies of the book.

New Book by Marble Cartoonist

“Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!”

Treesock Press

(Marble)- Who knows more about the Tooth Fairy than local cartoonist Jerry Begly? He’s the father of
seven children, and a kid’s ski instructor at Snowmass ski area.

In his new picture book, “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!”, Jerry captures the perfect “Oh no!” moment all parents face: forgetting to exchange money for teeth. To make matters worse, the Tooth Fairy really starts missing deliveries when the family begins growing. The result? Tie-on Tooth Fairy wings, a mountain of teeth in the living room (complete with ski lift and a train), and a mysterious “hero” who will win your heart and mind.

“Dad, the ”Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” is 48 pages of wacky cartoons that were put together at Jerry’s Marble home using on-site solar and wind power. “I think this is the first childrens’s book with that distinction,” said Jerry from his art studio that sits off the grid and has a commanding view of the Marble valley.

“Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” debuted February, 2010, and copies have already made their way to England, Brazil, Canada, and China, as well as from coast to coast in the U.S.

A graduate of Colorado Mountain College, Jerry Begly has been a freelance cartoonist in the Roaring Fork Valley for several years. His cartoons have appeared in numerous books, newspapers, and trade publications, as well as pop culture items like t-shirts and hats.

News staff interested in reviewing the book, or interviewing Jerry, can receive a complimentary copy by contacting Jerry Begly at 970-963-3815, or emailing him at jerry@jerrybegly.com .

“Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” is available for purchase at www.jerrybegly.com/book , and is a production of Treesock Press.
