ABOUT THE BOOK:
There’s a magical sound when a tooth wiggles free. . . . But what happens next?
In the black, velvet night, a bright spot appears. It zips through the sky and swoops to your home. And there, in a burst of shimmering fairy dust, a magical story unfolds.
Prepare to be whisked away as the Tooth Fairy shares the secrets of her mystical midnight flight.
With luscious, atmospheric illustrations from award winning artist Matt Gaser, and classic rhyming text, Flight of the Tooth Fairy takes readers on an adventurous quest like none they will have read before.
MY REVIEW:
Flight of the Tooth Fairy is such an incredibly fascinating read! With each sentence you are fully transported to a new magical place and you really feel as if you are on the journey with the tooth fairy as she makes her way to each boy and girl’s house that has lost their tooth. It gives an insight into the flight path of the tooth fairy for all of the young ones to see just what it takes to swap out their tooth for money or a treat under their pillow. It individualizes the process of losing a tooth and makes young ones feel special knowing what it took for them to get a nice surprise under their pillow.
The gorgeous illustrations really bring this book to life, being so vibrant and magical, and really move the pages along. Movement was key in these illustrations from page to page and they really make you feel as if you are flying from a fairy land closer to the child’s house to pick up the lost tooth. You really feel as if you are in fairy land. I wish I had this book as a child. It really makes the spirit of the tooth fairy come alive in a fun and whimsical way. And make every child truly believe in the tooth fairy. A great bedtime story for children of all ages.
Thank you to The Collective Book Studio for sending me a copy! I received a hardcover copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. My review is not influenced by the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
JAREN AHLMANN
B&N Bio: Having lived in Southern California, Portugal, and Cape Verde, Africa, Jaren Ahlmann now lives in the far-away land of Orem, Utah with his wife and his 4 self-proclaimed "biggest fans" ... aka his kids. He loves to: play soccer and scrabble, vacay with his family at the beach, and eat tacos and sprinkled donuts. He wishes he could: fly like the Tooth Fairy, play the piano, and hire a full-time chef to cook all his meals. He does not like: long car drives, pulling weeds, and losing in any type of game.
Amazon Bio:
When I was young, I actually wanted to be an architect and design mansions with secret pathways and rooms, but alas, my Lego set didn’t have enough pieces to even finish a shed. So, rather bored one summer day, I stumbled across a magical world, full of excitement and excitement.
That world … was found within a book.
And with each turn of the page, my imagination took me on thrilling adventures to places I never knew could exist while meeting characters I wished to meet in person.
Sleep did not matter nor did the sprinkled donuts that awaited me.
It was a summer I'll never forget because it had changed me. It had inspired me. And it planted a seed within me that has led me to becoming a writer today.
I know the power that lies within the delicate pages of a book. It has the ability to broaden a child’s imagination, instill confidence within them, and build up their courage, all while taking them on unforgettable adventures!
May each of you enjoy my books as much as I’ve enjoyed writing them!
