Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
When the time comes to put her first baby tooth under the pillow for the tooth fairy , Elise cheats. She peeks , and catches her very own mother in the act. When she confides to kindergarten friend Ben that her Mom is the tooth fairy, he is indignant. He knows that the tooth fairy is his father--because he peeked, too. Finally she asks her mother, and clever Mom explains that the fairy doesn't want to startle anyone by appearing suddenly in their bedrooms, so she (or he) appears looking exactly like somebody the child loves. It certainly makes good sense. All the same, Elise pictures a magical fairy in a starry crown--who becomes her own dear Mom in an old pink nightie, but is just as beautiful. A charming explanation for one of childhood's smaller mysteries, warmly and realistically illustrated with glowing watercolors. --Joan McGrath, Education Centre Library, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Answer, September 2, 1999
By Julieness "witchwithb" (Mira Loma, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Real Tooth Fairy (Paperback)
This book provides a clever answer to the tooth fairy question. I am a kindergarten teacher and this book is a superb read aloud! It invites the reader to use expressive voices, making the book a fun experience for the listeners. I bought the book because my daughter's name is Elise, but was delighted with its content! This is an absolute must-have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, March 1, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Real Tooth Fairy (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for parents to read to their 5-7 year olds. It explains in an imaginative way how the tooth fairy can look just like a parent. I'm a first grade teacher and it is the book I pull off the shelf when the first child in my class loses a tooth. The story keeps the children on the edge of their seats and does not disappoint in the end!

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter (8 years old) and I love this book!, December 10, 1998
By A Customer
This book is a great book for children who have doubts about the existence of the "tooth fairy" or believe their parents are the "tooth fairy".
