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.
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.
Perfect book for my son who is close to losing his teeth. He won’t stop talking about this and wants it to be his nightly read.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cute little story about the tooth fairy. Fun toddler/preschooler read. Delightful pictures on every page.
