April and Esme, Tooth Fairies

by Bob Graham (Author) Bob Graham (Illustrator)

April and Esme, Tooth Fairies
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

On their first assignment, two young tooth fairy sisters journey by night into the huge world of humans to collect Daniel Dangerfield's tooth and fly it safely home. Two young tooth fairies make their first lost-tooth collection in Bob Graham's warm, whimsical tale. Charm abounds in the visual details: the tiny fairy-sized cell phones the girls carry; the pony-tailed, winged dad in baggy jeans; the snug fairy house with teeth dangling like wind chimes. Once again, Bob Graham has crafted a tale of heartwarming adventure, magical yet very real.
