Tooth Fairy - Artistic Impression The Little Mouse, or La Petite Souris, is a fairy tale legend popular in most Francophone countries, most notably in France, and Wallonia. The legend of the Little Mouse ties in with that of the Tooth Fairy, the difference being that in this case, a little mouse sneaks in while the child is asleep, and replaces the lost baby tooth kept under his/her pillow with coins. The most feasible origin of this legend, at least in the francophone context, dates back to 17th Century in France, to a story penned by Marie-Catherine Le Jumel de Barneville, baronne d’Aulnoy named The Little Good Mouse (or 'La bonne petite souris'). Her story spoke of a fairy who transformed herself into a mouse to be able to defeat an evil king. The fairy, in her mouse form, hid herself under the pillow of the king and caused all his teeth to fall out. In popular culture Many interpretations of the Little Mouse or La Petite Souris have appeared in French popular culture. The mouse is often used to make children less frightened, particularly regarding concerns they may have about losing their baby teeth. In French-language media, the little mouse has also starred as the central character of quite a good number of children's books, including: Petite Souris album by Céline Lamour-Crochet (Author), François Martin (Illustrations) La petite souris et la dent by Virginie Hanna (Author), Delphine Bodet (Illustrations) A series of 7 books on La petite souris by Francois-Xavier Poulain (Author), Olivier Bailly (Illustrations) The DreamWorks film Rise of the Guardians stars a team of various characters from childhood legends popular in the United States, including Santa, The Easter Bunny, Jack Frost, The Sandman and the Tooth Fairy, who is depicted as a woman with wings and a team of lesser fairies who resemble hummingbirds. However, there is a scene where one of the lesser fairies discovers a mouse under a child's pillow, and the Tooth Fairy informs her that he is "one of us, part of the European division", as a clear reference to The Little Mouse. The mouse is depicted as wearing a green hat with a yellow feather, and a golden belt with a coin strapped to it. He is only shown to communicate through squeaking, but the Tooth Fairy addresses him in French . In Baby Looney Tunes "To Tell The Tooth", Granny Tells the kids about the tooth fairy, who exchanges teeth for money and Daffy tries to steal Taz's tooth to get money from the Tooth Fairy until he learns about molting and the Feather fairy. In Rugrats "Tooth or Dare" Angelica tries to steal Chuckie's teeth to get the Tooth Fairy to give her money. In The Fairly Odd Parents the Tooth Fairy is a recurring character in the series. In A Troll In Central Park: The Series "The Tooth Will Set You Free" Gus and Rosie's mom, Hilary Tells the kids about the tooth fairy, who exchanges teeth for money and Gus tries to steal Rosie's tooth to get money from the Tooth Fairy until he gets a loose tooth, learns about growing out of clothes and the clothing fairy .
