This book was given to my son as a gift and my friend's son read this book while on a visit with us and he fell in love with the book. So I made the purchase for him as a Christmas gift and his Mom said he was so excited!

We need to stop making racist assumptions!, January 25, 2013
By t.t. (oxford, england)

This is a wonderful and unique book. I met the author who is also the owner of Tamarind Books. I met her at an early years conference in London. She is British and so is her company.The book is about her grandson, David. A few reviewers here say the tooth fairy is "African-American." I doubt it. Please stop assuming that a person with brown skin, "African" features, is "African-American." They are only African-Americans if they are Americans of African descent. The author is British, the boy is British, so I'm going to assume the tooth fairy is British, too. People of African descent live in many countries, not just the U.S.!

Who doesn't recall the wonders of a lost molar?, July 20, 2003

For the child in all of us comes "Dave and the Tooth Fairy". Contemporized with a modern tooth fairy complete with ambition and computer, the story has a timeless quality of which both parents and children can relate. For those kids that have lost a tooth, the book is a satisfying reminder; for those yet to do such, it is a vision of financial pleasures to come.

Great little book, April 07, 2003

A truly interesting spin on the legend of the tooth fairy. Very entertaining book. I found this book for sale in a book store in West Africa, and I can see the relevance to the culture there. Really a great little read.

Best Tooth Fairy Story Ever!, March 12, 2000
By A customer
|
|
What a splendid story! From a Tooth Fairy who's a hip African American woman using a computer, to a child in a wheelchair, this book adds unusual features to a traditional story, enhancing it immeasurably. It includes just the right amount of suspense and humor for young children. The photorealistic illustrations are spectacular. I couldn't recommend it more.
