The
Very Beary Tooth Fairy
A.
Levine
What happens when a bear loses his
tooth? Is there a bear tooth fairy? A little bear, named Zach, overhears a
human discussing the tooth fairy. Zach’s mom has told him that humans are dangerous
and unpredictable. Now Zach is worried that the tooth fairy is a human. After
losing his tooth, he becomes too scared to go to sleep. But his mom was right
when she said bears could be anything they wanted to be. The illustrations
cover almost every page and help to tell the story as much as the words do. The
book handles the issues of a lost tooth and fear very well and age
appropriately. It also showcased kindness and understanding shown by the older
sister. The target age is preschool children, but my 6 year old son, who just
lost a tooth, was very entertained. I appreciated some of the larger vocabulary
that was used throughout the book; which led to a discussion with my four year
old.
I received this book free of charge from Children's Lit in exchange for my honest review.
