I am 11 now and I still think that this is one of the greatest books I read when I was little. It is cute and I loved it I wanted my dad to read it to me over and over again. I still think that it is a good book.

This is, hands down, my children's FAVORITE book. It begs to be read with different voices, volumes and accents, and don't be surprised if any adults around you get caught up in the story and laugh as much as the kids do. It is priceless, and we love it. Gift it to a child you love, and read it the minute you get it. (I would recommend pre-reading it a few times before you read it to kids if you want your delivery to be flawless... some of the phrases used in the story are a little hard to get out right the first time.)

This is a 6 star book, in my opinion. My children are 10, 7, and 4. All of them loved it when I read this book that is written in a distinctively southern/country accent. It is the cutest story ever of a little girl whose lost tooth got "stolen." Who done it? She doesn't know. But when she finds 'em, she is going to open up a can of gotcha, and send `em air mail to the moon. I imagine I will be able to quote this book by heart by the time my 3 children out grow this book. My children already can.

Airmail to the MoonTom Birdseye is a master at telling the tale of a common childhood event, such as losing a tooth, using colorful, local idioms to embelish the telling. "I was popcorn in the pan excited..." to share this story with my daughter and countless classrooms. Kids love the language and the images it produces. It's a great story for parents to read aloud...you'll laugh as much as your children. Have fun! Share a delightful story with the children in your life.

I think Air Mail to the Moon is an excellent book. I think it was an excellent book because she was going around acusing people of stealing her tooth. She said, "When I catch him or her, I am going to Air Mail them to the moon".

I think Air Mail to the Moon is an excellent book. I think it was excellent because she thought everyone stole her tooth, but she had it all the time. It was such a funny book!

I think Air Mail to the Moon was a good book because she was thinking about all of the things she was going to get with her tooth from the tooth fairy.

This a book that you can read with your children and relate to in some sort of way. Explain the fact the tooth fairy FORGOT!!!. Oreo is the cutest if not the SWEETEST!!! My daughter would have reacted the same way. Keep Oreo close to your heart, she's Great!!!!!!!

This book is one of the worst books I have found. My daughter checked it out from the library and I attempted to read it to her. The white trash, redneck depiction of the family is horrible. Dad is drawn cutting himself multiple times while shading and bleeding onto his shirt. Really? Beyond that, the ridiculous language that the character uses makes it impossible to read it well. Unless you aspire your children to be white trash I do not recommend this book.
