Unfortunately, this ended up rather on the daft side, and could not be recommended. When a girl's first tooth drops out she is promised something from the tooth fairy by her mother, but in the morning the tooth is absent – and yet nothing has been gifted in return. When the fairy and her ride turn up once the girl has written a complaint letter (?!) it turns out… well, it deserves another interrobang, for it's all rather pointless, and neither funny, edifying or particularly entertaining. It's not unattractive visually, and reads well, but as regards what makes up the plot and the ending, well, it'd be low down in my priorities.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

overall this story was a little off- the general idea was great but both myself and my child had a hard time being interested. we were both very confused why the bird hid the present and how it was supposed to be funny but it did lead to a conversation about what makes a joke funny or when something is just mean

Thank you netgalley and booksgosocial for the arc in exchange for a review.
Cute little book about the tooth fairy.
Fun toddler/preschool/nursery for the kids at that age.
Delightful pictures on every page.
I liked this one.

Cute little story about the tooth fairy. Fun toddler/preschooler read. Delightful pictures on every page.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for making this available..

This was sweet. I had read this with my niece after she had just had a visit from the tooth fairy.

It’s a great way to encourage kids to believe in the tooth fairy and to be happy instead of sad about losing a tooth.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Under my Pillow is a book about a little girl who loses her first baby tooth. She puts it under her pillow, excited for a present from the tooth fairy the next day, bit upon looking the next day, the tooth is gone, and no present is there. The girl writes a letter to the tooth fairy, and the tooth fairy comes to the house to investigate.
This was a pretty strange book from start to finish and It completely missed the mark for me. The child's letter was rude (not all parents can afford presents for each tooth a child loses) and I didn't understand the reasoning for the bird hiding the present or the tooth apart from to play a mean trick. The bird looked pretty mean on pages too. Not a book I can see many children wanting to read more than once and not one that teaches gratitude or manners to children either.

This is a cute story about a little girl who loses her first tooth and waits with excitement to see what the tooth fairy brings her. The next day. Sam is disappointed to see that while her tooth has disappeared, there is no surprise waiting for her!

The story deals with issues around expectations, trust and shared values, and the Tooth Fairy herself comes to visit in order to unravel the mystery of Sam's missing tooth. As a result of their joint efforts, the culprit is identified and all ends well.

The illustrations were my favourite thing about this story - they were adorable.

Sweet little story about Sam and her excitement over loosing her first tooth. She wasn't really sure what would happen next and how would the Tooth fairy find her and her tooth. Her mother told her to put the tooth under her pillow when she went to sleep that night. The next morning Sam could not wait to see what was there. But to her surprise there was no tooth or surprise from the Tooth fairy. She sets out to find out what happened to her tooth and why did the Tooth fairy not leave her something. What will she find? Will the missing tooth and surprise reappear? You will have to read to find out what happens next.
A fun little book to help little ones figure out what happens next when they lose a tooth.

Under My Pillow is a lovely story about 5 year old Sam who loses her first tooth and is excited to leave it for the tooth fairy but she wakes disappointed to find the tooth gone but no present has been left for her. The story then got rather strange with the antics of Gordy but my 6 year old son enjoyed it and for a child's book, that's what counts.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for my copy.

This one was ok. I reminded me of a children’s book that I’d find in the dentists office.

It was cute but for me it wasn’t something I’d be raving about.

Not sure if it’s something my children would necessarily be drawn to reading.

This book started out cute, but got weird very quickly. I didn’t understand the addition of Gordy the bird. It is not explained what his motivations are and why he was trying to be “funny.” My son didn’t stay engaged with the story. Sadly, it was a miss for my son and I.

Under my pillow is an adorable story about a girl who puts her tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy, only to wake up the next morning to find no tooth and no present! After writing a letter to the tooth fairy, she asks for her help in finding her missing tooth and present! It's a very cute book about problem solving and working together. I loved the questions and activities at the end to help continue to conversation with your child long after the book has ended. This is a cute book and the illustrations are also great! I would definitely recommend this book to someone who is around the age of losing their first tooth!

A classic but with a twist.

Thank you to the author and the publisher for this ARC through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This is a fun children’s book that discusses a younger child’s experience with losing their first tooth and meeting the tooth fairy. The book had easy dialogue to read and a diverse set of characters. The book is illustrated in a style that is not my favorite, but could be appealing to some kids. The storyline seems a bit odd at the end, but I think kids would enjoy it none the less

Under My Pillow is a delightful book about losing your first tooth. In this case 5 year old Samantha is ecstatic to learn she will receive a gift for her tooth, but when the tooth fairy doesn't bring one...she is devastated. Finding out how they turn Sam's frown upside down is a fun, unpredictable story. This is great for young ears and eyes and does not question/spoil any magic.

I read this book with my 2 year old daughter and she loved it!
The story was exciting and fun.
The illustrations were colourful and expressive.
The story was great and kept her interest.
We really enjoyed it!
Especially Gordy the bird.

Although this book has beautiful pictures – seriously, the drawings are art! – I am not too sure about the storyline. It seems… kind of off. In several ways. In more than one way. The premise of the story is good – a girl’s tooth falls out, she puts it under her pillow and waits for a gift in the morning (don’t most kids do that?), but in the morning the tooth is gone and there is no gift. The girl writes a letter to the tooth fairy and a tooth fairy comes with her friend, a bird. They start looking for both the missing tooth and the missing present, and then the story goes awry. The bird turns out to be a bully and somehow everyone ignores it and everyone keeps being friends and pretends that the bird was not being an awful creature. No. I see no real moral there. The conversation they have with the bird is shallow and meaningless, and this looks like another tale of learning not to stand up for oneself in full. Just a little bit. Just find the tooth and the gift and then pretend you were not bullied and pretend it is ok just because it all ended well. No. Just, no.

This book was a little strange. The bird was a weird addition to the story and he didn't seem to have any valid motivations for his actions. It's also weird that he thought her keeping her tooth would be a reward? Some of the pages seemed very dense for this age group.

Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for an advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest review.

A sweet twist on the original tooth fairy story, including small lessons on using words to express emotion, problem solving, forgiveness and the idea of the tooth fairy itself. For young children about to start loosing teeth or about to loose their first, this is a great option especially for calming first-tooth-lost nerves. The twist of a wingless fairy with a brightly colored bird is darling & added interest for my children. Honestly, it could be a great tool to introduce the idea that it may not always go flawlessly, just incase a caretaker needs the backup due to potential unforeseen tooth fairy forgetfulness. No panic if there’s no present - write the fairy a letter! Giving the adult(s) time to do problem solving of their own, I appreciate! Four and five year old approved, especially Gordy.

This is a cute story about the tooth fairy and a little girl who present wasn’t under her pillow the next day.
This story would make a perfect bedtime story.
