4.0 out of 5 stars Little Rabbit's Loose Tooth, March 21, 2006

This review is from: Little Rabbit's Loose Tooth (Hardcover)

I bought this lovely book for my grandson after he lost his first tooth, but haven't given it to him yet at the request of his parents. Little Rabbit is pretty self-aware for someone so young. She is not sure if she is going to buy into the Tooth Fairy story. So if you want a child to absolutely believe in the Tooth Fairy, no questions asked, please keep in mind that the book can be "thought provoking."

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Rabbit's Loose Tooth, December 23, 2003

This was such a joy to find! When my child lost the first tooth I looked every where for this book but couldn't find it. Within the past two weeks I found it here. Once the book arrived I read it to my child & my husband. Both loved it as much as I do. If you can get a copy of this hard to find book I would encourage you to do so. You won't be sad as you explain to your little one where their teeth go once the tooth fairy picks it up.

2.0 out of 5 stars A sweet book, but it busted the myth..., November 11, 2011

Okay - I agree with the other reviewers - sweet, nice illustrations,humorous, and thought-provoking... so, beware. If your kid is starting to wonder about the whole tooth fairy thing, this book pretty much busts the myth. At least it did for my little one. In the book's favor, it is a gentle and sweet way to bust the myth (it beats hearing it from an obnoxious older school-mate like I did oh so long ago...). But, if you and your child are enjoying the tooth-fairy game, I'd wait on reading this.
