Press for Tooth
Says Kirkus Reviews:
"Bell-Rehwoldt's spunky spitfire
of a redheaded tooth fairy defies historical conceptions. ... Having
been stripped of her dainty, gentle, winged ways, this may not be the
tooth fairy for every child. However, others will surely vigorously
embrace her with gusto."
Says Horn Book Guide:
"This fairy has a bit of a (tooth)
chip on her shoulder, but those who like their myths busted will find
this a hoot."
