A charming book that could easily become a bedtime-staple for curious children everywhere!
Mollie’s Magical Tooth: A Tooth Fairy Magic Land Adventure is a vibrantly illustrated story designed for young children. Mollie is an adorable little girl with an active imagination. When the time comes to lose her first tooth, instead of leaving it for the tooth fairy, Mollie decides to keep the pearly white on a necklace. After all, she reasons, “I wonder what she does with all the teeth? She must have thousands in her fairy home! Does she collect them in sparkling jars?” After she goes to bed, Mollie gets to meet the tooth fairy, Miss Pearlwirl. It turns out that Magic Land is in trouble and only Mollie can help.
Filled with unicorns, fairies and toadstool houses, the bright and whimsical illustrations land somewhere between Peter Max and Lisa Frank. The story, which is geared for readers aged 4 to 8, encourages imagination and a sense of adventure. Losing a tooth can be traumatic for little kids, but Jana Buchmann infuses an uneasy situation with magic and fun. It’s a delight to watch precocious Mollie become the hero of her own story. Mollie’s Magical Tooth is a charming book that could easily become a bedtime-staple for curious children everywhere!
