review 1: This book was a story about two young tooth fairies that wanted to collect a boy's first lost tooth. April and Esme convince their parents to go on their own to get Daniel's tooth. They successfully make it to Daniel's home, get his tooth that was in a glass of water, and are just leaving his coin when he wakes up! Luckily the girls get him to fall back asleep, and they text their mother asking what to do. The mother tells them to whisper in the boy's ear, and he woke up thinking it was just a dream. Although this book has a decent enough story line, the illustrations, especially at the beginning, are a bit odd and in my opinion inappropriate for younger children. The father has his stomach hanging out and the mother is in the bathtub. Also, the element of technology and t... morehese girls texting their mom when they had a problem was a bit too "modern" for my liking. I don't see much use for this book in a classroom to be honest, not just because I didn't particularly like this book. The plot was decent, but there wasn't much to the story. The characters weren't very developed, other than the weird pictures of the parents at the beginning. The problem and solution were very straight forward without much suspense. Overall, I would not recommend this book.
review 2: I loved this! April & Esme are two young daughters in a family of tooth fairies - all with wings, including dad and the dog! Even though they're young, the girls are ready to go on their first tooth collecting journey. Mom and dad worry but allow them this opportunity. Their execution of the task is delightful!Good to read aloud with K/1st kids who are losing teeth left and right. The girl fairies also match K/1st developmentally with the desire for a little more independence. less
