This was a lovely book about the tooth fairy. I received a letter from the tooth fairy when I was 9 years old, and still remember it to this day, so this book brought back happy memories. I'd had 6 teeth taken out at the dentist, and the letter from my tooth fairy, Fiona, said that all 6 teeth were too heavy for her to carry, and that she'd be back for the remaining 2 the following night. Cute and colourful illustrations too.

When I was young my mom would always go over the top with tooth fairy notes. She would type the note on beautiful sparkly paper and roll it up really tiny and tie a beautiful silver bow around it for me to find in the morning. I was pretty much obsessed with the tooth fairy and believed in her way longer than I should have, but this book was perfect to me. I actually believed that the little pouch was from he real tooth fairy and I guarded it with my life. I still have it to this day. My absolute favorite thing about this book is the stunning Gold lining that you can find throughout the book.

This was the first ever book I read and loved and remember it to this day….. this book is the reason why I’m a bibliophile

This book would be a fantastic book to give to a child who will be losing their baby teeth soon. I love how just like the children in the book, the owner of the book will receive a little purple bag to put their teeth in. I would read this to children that may be scared of losing their teeth to let them know that it happens to everyone and that there is nothing to be scared of.

If I were to use this in a classroom, it would be in a kindergarten class. I would read if after doing a health lesson about taking care of your teeth. I would even try to find or make little bags to give to the students to keep their teeth in.

I don't believe this book would be appropriate to read in the classroom because not every child may be taught to believe in the tooth fairy. The book is accompanied with a little velvet pouch for your child to put his/her baby teeth in when they fall out. It is a great system to use so that you can easily get the child's tooth and put the money under their pillow. This is also an excellent story to teach about dental hygiene.

Tooth Fairy, Twinkle, may miss the fairy ball because of collecting baby teeth all night. Her friend create a little something to help her get done quickly.

The story was more detailed than I expected. In the beginning it just describes little kids losing it’s baby teeth and how to hide them for the tooth fairy. Then it went into Twinkle’s story.
It is an okay story. I don’t think it would be good for a school reading it’s more of a book to be read before bed.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting too much from this book but I did end up liking it. The problem-solving came way too easily buy it was good to see encouragement for imagination, productivity and some logical reasoning.

This book was okay. I can see how a teacher could use it to discuss why children lose their teeth.
