I think this may be the tooth fairy I saw when I was six !

I found this to be a darling book. It shows a loving relationship between a little girl and her mother as well as alleviate the mystery of the tooth fairy. As a young child (I am a first grade teacher with a grown son), I saw what I believed to be the tooth fairy. I never forgot it, it made such an impression on me. Young children love fantasy and "little" things, so for most children, I believe this to be an enchanting departure from the usual fare of books dealing with the fantasy world adults create for children. I was surprised to think that another reviewer would compare this topic to poaching of ivory. The child "wants" the tooth fairy to visit. Many children try to stay awake with the hopes of a magical glimpse of the tooth fairy. This beautifully illustrated book helps to "answer" the fantasy questions that children want to explore. Even when they no longer truely believe, many children do not admit it, so they can continue to enjoy the fantasy world. Imagination and fantasy are wonderful things that indicate high intelligence. We grow up soon enough and put these thoughts aside for reality. This book is a beautiful treasure for children and even adults. I love this book!
The Tooth Fairy by Peter Collington

This is an excellent book for children who are not yet able to read fluently. Children are able to utilize their imagination in order to form the "words" to the story. The illustrations are inviting and the subject matter is something that most children can easily identify with. As an elementary education teacher, I would recommend this book to grades K-3 for pleasure reading, as well as 4-6 to assist in developing sequential story writing.
