Review:

illustrations full of magical detail to fascinate the young reader * Bookseller * Bob Graham does a virtuoso job of creating a convincing imaginative universe for a family of tooth fairies. The story is about the fairy children heading off on their first tooth-collecting mission. Parents will learn a lesson from this book too: don't put your children's teeth in water. Tooth fairies would prefer not to get their wings wet. -- Kate Kellaway * The Guardian * utterly enchanting ... a book to treasure * Irish Times * a perfect picture book that strikes a balance between the familiar and the extraordinary * Bookseller * great delights to witness in this magical book -- April Underhill * Angels and Urchins * Graham's attention to design and detail seem effortless. * Books For Keeps *
