I thought that this book was excellent.

I really liked the idea behind the book and the authors have really done it justice. I love that the main character is neurodivergent and this is embraced in the book - something that should happen more often as there are plenty of people out there that can relate

The story is wonderful and whimsical - it is well written and my daughter really enjoyed it. It is easy to read and follow too. The illustrations are a treat and they add so much to the story and help bring it all to life.

It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!

This was an interesting take on the whole tooth fairy tale we grow up knowing. Who doesn’t want to know where the teeth go and what happens behind the scenes? The illustrations were nice and the story was sweet but there wasn’t much mind-blowing about it. A fun read for young audiences but not so much for an adult.

Such a lovely magical story to help keep the magic of the tooth fairy alive - and it’s terrific to see a tooth fairy book, as it isn’t as common.

Very cute story. It does a great job to link the idea of the tooth fairy with the idea of following your dreams. Gabriel gets the chance to help a tooth fairy and then visit their land! The story speaks of dreams, the future, and looking beyond just counting what can be seen, such as the stars.

The stunning illustrations grabbed me in this creative tale about a young neurodivergent boy who loses his first tooth and spins a wild story about where lost teeth go. Highly recommended for readers 3-8.

What a lovely, creative story about a space-loving boy's loss of his first tooth. Perfect for children of that age. I plan to purchase for my nephew (who loves tinkering and building things).

30 pages or so, this book is in publication.

Beautifully illustrated!

This book would make a lovely gift.

Many thanks to the creative team for writing Gabriel's Tooth Fairy Tale, Sharon Leya, Jennifer Saylor and Ivan Sulima.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book for free in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.

This was an enjoyable and fun story. While I think this book would especially be good for the youngest of readers, I think this book is also good to read to slightly older children who might be questioning the magic of the tooth fairy. I thought the illustrations were very well drawn and fun. If I had a child, I would buy them this book, if even to keep the magic of the tooth fairy alive a little bit longer. After all, kids grow up so fast.

Many Thanks again to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest review.

I found this to be a fun way to re-tell the tooth fairy. I would’ve like a better transition between talking about Gabriel’s love for space to him meeting the tooth fairy and going on adventure with her because it did confuse me a little. The illustrations were great and they did remind me of Peter Pan, which I think children would love. I liked that it answered “what do you do with the teeth you collect?”. I am positive kids will love this as a bedtime story and will be excited for when their next tooth falls.

Thank you to the authors and NetGalley for this e-ARC.

This was a cute story , and a fun exploration of imagination .
The scenes were quick to change topic so took a bit of going back to make sure we didn’t miss a page! Lol

A quick short read !

I loved this book! Such a cute story for kids about the Tooth Fairy! I haven't seen many children's books about the tooth fairy! Kids will really enjoy this book and all the pictures! I loved that there is an option to write a letter to the tooth fairy!

The pictures were absolutely adorable. Overall the cover was great. The storyline was awesome. And my 4 year old loved it. It was a bit long at some points, but overall so cute.

"Gabriel's Tooth Fairy Tale" by Sharon Leya and Jennifer Saylor with illustrations by Ivan Sulima is an enchanting story of a boy named Gabriel going on an adventure with the tooth fairy. The story and drawings make this really magical, and the reader can feel transported. This should make a great book to read aloud as well. I particularly enjoyed Sulima's illustrations. Thanks to Netgalley for the eARC.

This is an adorable story for children that takes a familiar character/fairytale like the story of the tooth fairy and presents it in an entirely new and very creative manner.

The illustrations are wonderful, and I like the representation aspect, which is beautifully handled.

This will be a great gift and an excellent book to read with young kids. Highly recommended.

5/5 Stars! Thank you, NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this eARCH of Gabriel's Tooth Fairy Tale by Sharon Leya and Jennifer Saylor.

This was such a beautiful story. I loved how this story was told and the illustrations were just beautiful and well done. I will definitely be buying this book so that my boys can get a head start on the Tooth Fairy - they haven't lost their teeth yet but I love the end where there's an activity to write a letter. This is really great!

Thank you!

Easy-to-follow narrative with efficient wording. Dreamy illustrations that are full of warmth. Wonderful and heartening explanations for giving teeth to a tooth fairy. Magical adventure that brings excitement and joy. Short introduction that abruptly cuts into the climax. Spreads the message of the importance in staying true to yourself and not giving up. Relaxing narrative. Evokes awe and charm. Recommended for those hoping to find specks of stellar dreams. Overall, an average read.

This is the sweetest book!
It took the concept of a tooth fairy and made something so tradition based into something new! Something unique about this book is the child not only interacted with the tooth fairy but also gives the reader the ability to write their own letter. Excellent

This is really a very cute children's book. My little is about to start losing teeth so it seemed appropriate that I request this book to review. I read it out loud to my kiddo and five stars given all around. The way this cute story is laid out is easy to follow and read out loud. I love the illustration- bright, fun and captivating.

I just finished reading a truly beautiful and magical story. The book's powerful message about never giving up on your dreams as you grow up was brilliantly linked to the rite of passage of losing a tooth. The illustrations were stunning, vivid and full of detail, bringing the story to life.

I want to thank Sharon Leya, Orange Puffin Playgrounds, and Netgalley for gifting me an ARC of this book.

Cute story with beautiful illustrations! I also really enjoyed that there was a blank letter to the tooth fairy for kids to fill out.

Thank you to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial, Sharon Leya, and Jennifer Saylor for the opportunity to read and review this advanced reader's copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
