Not fantastic literature, but definitely worth saving for future kids! It teaches a pretty decent lesson.

Cute book. I like pretty much anything with fairies, and this
one remind me of a story I wrote. Characters are a little cliche - one
smart fairy, one fairy who gets lost, one fairy who is clumsy and
another who is mean. I like that there are
fairy crafts that you can make in the back of the book - magic wands or a star necklace.
This
author, Gail Herman, now writes some of the Disney Fairies chapter books, but this series
came out before them. As a writer, you can see how she has improved with the newer Disney Fairies books. As a chapter book for young kids, Tooth Fairy Travel isn't bad, but I see it more for younger kids who read chapter
books, maybe ages 4 to 6.

I don’t know how to rate this because I think it’s been 20+ years since I read it. Let me tell you something though. Something about these books I must have loved, because I spent a collective 3-4 hours trying to track the series down on different searches and databases. I had nothing to go on as far as title and author, and all my searches kept turning up Daisy Meadows’ series. But I KNEW those weren’t the right ones. The distinction of these was that I remembered the covers used real little girls in tutus. At the time, when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, I thought that was so cool. And that’s the only thing I could remember about this series: 1) it was about fairies and friendship, and 2) the covers. I’m so glad I finally found it. My niece will be ready for these soon, and it’s a series I want to share with her and any future daughters I might have.
