Gr 1-2–The myth of the Tooth Fairy is alive and well in this recent addition to the “Step into Reading” series. In this Step 2 title, a young white boy is spending the night away from home with grandparents when the first tooth is lost. The boy knows he needs to put the tooth under his pillow, but worries that the Tooth Fairy will not find him when he is not at home. Together with Grandpa, a plan is formulated to help the Tooth Fairy find her way. They make a sign, leave the window ajar, and place the tooth beneath the pillow. In the morning, the boy discovers money in place of the lost tooth. This story is simple to read and follows a predictable arc, making it a good choice for new readers.
VERDICT There’s room on the Tooth Fairy shelves for this reassuring early reader.
