Editorial Reviews

12/01/2017
PreS-Gr 1—Wallace offers young listeners examples of how children have tried to catch the Tooth Fairy. In this rendition, the Tooth Fairy collects 300,000 teeth nightly while staying out of sight. With simple rhymes, the last verse ends with a challenge for readers, "Can you catch the tooth fairy?" This audiobook would benefit from its pairing with the print version since several of the traps pictured are not described. Elizabeth Cottle expertly captures the mischievous and whimsical tone of this work while using appropriately slow pacing. The sparkly musical accompaniment provides a fitting background to the text. VERDICT Very young readers may find this appealing, but The Tooth Fairy Wars by Kate Coombs would be a better alternative when choosing a book on this topic.—Terri Perper, Olney Elementary School, MD
