 Very Creative, August 17, 2015
By D.S. Johnson

Another great Collington book with no words. My four and six year old grandchildren love this book. The creative uses the fairy has for teeth and the drawings that show those uses, as well as the process the fairy goes through to leave the token under a child's pillow is great. My grandkids also like the fact that the story is a little different every time. They enjoy telling the story along with me, noticing different details on each page.

Tooth Fairy rocks, July 26, 2013

I'm a piano technician and I love that this little fairy has so much in common with me. Too bad it's out of print. My nieces, nephews, grandkids all need a copy of this book. It's a picture book without words but suitable for older kids as well.

I think this may be the tooth fairy I saw when I was six !, May 01, 2000

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, December 02, 1999
By A customer

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.

 You will either like the concept or hate it, January 03, 1998

I loved the illustrations, but the story was somewhat unsettling to me as an adult. I am concern about poaching of animals for their ivory and found the tooth fairy using the childs teeth for piano keys, just as unsettling(even though the child lived). But if the story does not bother you, you will find that the illustrations live up the the quality, detail and class that you associate with this 'writer'.
