Dave and the Tooth Fairy cover

New edition of a much-loved picture book classic about a little boy and the tooth fairy.

Dave has a wobbly tooth. He wibbles and wobbles it, but it won't come out. But then one day Dave lets out an enormous sneeze and the tooth flies across the room and vanishes. Dave searches high and low, but it's nowhere to be seen. How will he get the tooth fairy to visit him now?

A heartwarming picture book with a unique spin on the tooth fairy tradition.

Carl Pearce's [illustrations] have a filmic quality that will appeal to today's avid screen watchers. * Red Reading Hub *

The whole flow of the story is full of neat little nuances that again mark it a cut above so many similar titles. Dave himself is a fab character, and we really feel for him when he initially ends up losing his tooth - and his angst at perhaps missing out on the financial reward that he'd been banking on from trading in his old holey gnasher for a shiny coin.

It's stylish stuff from cover to cover, largely thanks to Verna's original tweaked story and Carl's superb new artwork. Very highly recommended.

* Read it, Daddy *
