Bell, Nick. Mary the Tooth Fairy.
Red Cygnet Press, 2008. Unp. $15.95 978-1-60108-015-81
The aging tooth fairy with help from Santa Claus, Mother Goose, and the Sandman provide the young tooth fairy in training with all the skills and qualities needed to continue to provide happiness to children around the world. Fantastic illustrations. For PreK-2nd grade.
Bell writes and illustrates this inventive tale of what happens when the aging Tooth Fairy’s skills at flying, sneaking around and stealthily taking teeth from under pillows start to fade.
The illustrations by Bell are intriguing and extend the story. Children can look for recurring characters and read the humorous writing that appears on the Goose-mobile, T-shirts and wall plaques. The interplay of cartoon-like and real-life faces feels just right in this book that is part fantasy, part real life. A first book that is humorous and will enchant young readers believing in The Tooth Fairy. LMN
