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 *
