Visit from the Tooth Fairy (Hardcover) by Sarah Willson

"A Visit from the Tooth Fairy" is the fifteenth book in a series of "Blue's Clues" books. In this story, Blue has a loose tooth and is excited about the tooth fairy.

This book features a relatively new format in which all of the dogs talk, even without Blue's Room. Still, it's a nice fun story and the new format works well. In Blue's Class, Blue's teacher Miss Marigold has everyone draw pictures of what they think the tooth fairy looks like. Later, Blue has lots of fun wiggling her tooth, even in the bath. When it finally comes out, Blue gets a special surprise.

The illustrations are bright and fun, completely filling every page. And readers get a look inside Blue's imagination. This will be fun for any fan of the series, or any kid that might have their first loose tooth.

A Colorful, Whimsical Book, August 31, 2005
By Janet Boyer

Blue has a loose tooth! She's excited and she keeps wiggling her tooth until one day...it falls out! Blue eagerly puts it under her pillow for the Tooth Fairy. What will the Tooth Fairy bring Blue?

This colorful story features Joe, Green Puppy, Periwinkle, Purple Kangaroo, Magenta, and Miss Marigold (Blue's teacher) as Blue wiggles her loose tooth and proudly shows it off to her friends.

This is a whimsical story that shows a brave Blue losing a tooth and then receiving a visit (and present) from the Tooth Fairy. It's quite colorful, and features actual photographs of Joe. It seems geared toward older children as far as reading level, especially with the smaller font and longer sentences and paragraphs.

If you're looking for a book to take the fear out of losing a tooth, this may help. However, if you want to introduce a child to the concept of going to the dentist and what that entails, you're better off getting Dora the Explorer's Show Me Your Smile! A Visit to the Dentist.
