 My audiance loved it!, August 09, 2002

Timeless myth takes a new reality in this beautifully illustrated version of THE TOOTH FAIRY: THE TOUCH OF KINDNESS. Concealed within an entertaining story about young Piper Noble are a number of lessons that parents will appreciate. For example, children learn about the power of love, of accepting other differences, and respect for all people.
Having tried this book on an audience ages five and eight, THE TOOTH FAIRY LEGEND is a hit! My young audiance loved the mustic aand narration on the accompanying CDs, and enjoyed following along with the text in the book. They were entranced by the story, and talked about it for days. As a professional caregiver, I appreciated the opportunity for them to enjoy a long story without the TV that we usually have going. For a terrific story accompanied by the beautiful music and marvelous illustrations, THE TOOTH FAIRY LEGEND; THE TOUCH OF KINDNESS comes very highly recommended.

tooth fairy review, July 22, 2002

This wonderful book was very entertaining and my children loved reading along with the accompanying CDs. The music and the illustrations were beautifully done and gave life to the characters in this new spin of the Tooth Fairy story. This is a great modern update to a timeless legend. Kudos to Long and Meyer.

The Legend Lives, July 19, 2002
By A teacher

As a teacher of elementary-age school children, I was delighted to read Long and Meyer's "Touch of Kindness." The sensitivity with which the subject matter was treated was an important issue for me. I teach children who are struggling to understand and cope with the fear of some strange winged creature entering their bedrooms to retrieve teeth in the middle of the night. How wonderful that a book finally exists that explains it all in a humorous and yet adventurous manner. The book should keep any youngster on the edge of his or her seat. The fact that the book is chaptered allows someone in my capacity to take time with the telling of the story and ask and answer a multitude of questions that will certainly surface in the classroom. And the read-along, sing-along CD's that are provided as an extra bonus will allow for some more than pleasurable moments in the "reading corner." In addition, the art work adds incredible dimension to the storyline. I can't wait to get back to work in September and introduce my new class to the wonderful, creative minds of Long and Meyer and the special world of "The Legend of the Tooth Fairy."

The Power of the Imagination, July 17, 2002

I recently purchased this delightful book for my 5 year-old nephew and 3 year-old niece. I must say they absolutely enjoyed both the book and the CD. They kept asking granny to re-read the book over and over again. It's a wonderful story full of interesting and lovable characters; characters that make you laugh and pull at your heart-strings. I thoroughly recommend it -for those who cherish and treasure a little flight of fantasy.

 Don't waste your money, July 11, 2002
By yA customer

This is an overblown, longwinded story with characters called 'diaper' that no child can relate to. The songs are not memorable enough to be sung by a child. They are not even well produced, given the credits of the writers.
I don't mean to be harsh, but I read a lot of children's material and contrary to the rave reviews that caused me to purchase - the whole theme is so overly contrived, I was saddened. I was also upset having to pay postage to and fro. I should have been tipped off when our local bookstores did not carry. Sorry for the negativity - but forewarned is forearmed.

My grandchildren loved the LEGEND OF THE TOOTH FAIRY, June 18, 2002
By Marge Spitzel, RN MS

THE TOOTH FAIRY LEGEND-A TOUCH OF KINDNESS by Long and Meyer is a first class childrn's book complete with narration and two CD's of the musical. The book adds a third dimention in its beautiful illustrations by artist, Nadine Zenobi.
My two grandchildren, Elizabeth,five and Mary,seven, were spellbound as they "read" the book along with their Nanny while listening to the CD's. Of the many gifts I sent the children, The TOOTH FAIRY LEGEND seemed to be most appreciated, especially since Mary had just lost a tooth.
Kudos to Long and Meyer on writing a warm and relevant book which teaches being kind to one another is its own reward.
