"Our whole family enjoys this book! Charming illustrations bring cultural traditions from around the world to life...and smiles to all within earshot.

As parents we weren't entirely sure we wanted to push the tooth fairy on our daughter as she was more interested in keeping her tooth (for "scientific purposes" and "my memory") than anything else. Learning what other children do (or don't do) with their baby teeth was fun and enlightening for all of us...el Ratoncito Pérez was a fast favorite for all of us.

Losing a tooth is one of the many 'becoming a big kid' moments in a child's life - reading these folk traditions together as a family made it less bitter and more sweet."

• I did not expect such a great and informative and cute book at this price. Amazing and awsome.
  My child who is 6 was just mesmerized by all the info in the book. She is great reader and
  she read the book all by herself within half hour drive in the car. It has relatively small print
  so I needed glasses when I tried to read it again with her at bedtime but she managed to read
  fluetly without any problems.
  The book has nifty simple map of the world at the beginning and all the customs are divided
  into the geographical regions as in.. North America.. South America.. Central and south Africa..
  Australia.. etc.. there are bit more divisions then only continents but not that many more.
  It makes totally sense considering that there are different geographical/ethnical regions within
  one continent and that is reflected in the custom.
  
  Someone complained in redundancy of the customs but I think that it is not a flow, it is actuall
  amazing sociological phenomenont that happens around the world and is reflected in the book..
  a child picks up on it quickly as she reads and figures that there are actually similarities
  or customs are identical in few countries.. that makes you wonder and you begin to
  speculate and analize and make some scientifical discoveries.. as in..
  it becames apparently obvious that the countries that were UK colonies share the same custom
  as UK.. and then again.. areas where african culture was relocated from africa reflect the roots
  of african customs etc.. that is just awsome and the whole deducting by geography thing
  makes so much fun for a child.
  
  you can clearly see why and where the similarites are and where they must have orignated.
  
  If I could change anything I would blow the print twice so not only emerging readers could manage
  but also parents who can't see withoug glasses ) it is awsome book to share at bedtime with kids
  so it makes it a bummer when you can't find glasses or need more light due to the small print.
  Make it bigger print and it will be just perfect.
  
  Illustrations are very captivating, simple and to the point and don't overpower the book.
  So are the stories.. figure one small paragraph per country or area.. and each has maybe
  five or so sentences.. short and very descriptive. Kee your interest up and going...
  you just can't put it down.
  
  I found it very interesting myself and I would never ever learn nor had an idea how
  many different customs are there in the world regarding the tooth traditions..
  I came from area where there are no traditions as such in this regard so it was fun.
  
  The title is fun but so true.. and then others are also non scary for a child
  and vary from things like ... puting a toth under the bed for a little mouse to take it
  and give you a new one, planting the tooth in the field etc..
  
  yes, scare factor is always important to me so this is zero scary.
  
  Great job in compilating and collecting info and illustrations!!!
  awsome.
• This is the best book! I love that it teaches about all the different cultures. My children are bi racial. and having this book was amazing because we believe in the little mouse down in south america, and obviously the tooth fairy here in the states! I love that they were included plus many many more different cultures. It is a really really sweet book! I highly recommend it!
• We don't do the Tooth Fairy in our house, but we still wanted to do something fun. And if we can make something educational, too, we're all for that. This is a fun book with short descriptions of tooth losing traditions from around the world. My son had fun reading through the traditions and choosing which ones he wanted to do. For his first tooth he chose the traditional Tooth Fairy (even though he knew it was me that changed out the tooth for cash). The next two teeth he chose El Raton, the magic rat. We're still trying to convince him to throw his tooth on the roof and dance around the house, but he refuses that one =)
• The whole idea is a great one. I think it is fun to read this when your child loses his/her first tooth. The only thing I didn't like was so many of the examples where almost the same in custom. With as many countries out there I was hoping the author could have chosen more examples that were different than the other ones.
• The first tooth that falls out is such a memorable experience for children. One of my sons lost a tooth in Ecuador and our friends told him to put it under the refrigerator for the Tooth Mouse. Another son lost one in Nicaragua and he was instructed to throw it on the tin roof. That made us curious about tooth traditions in other countries. This book is really interesting, even for a grown-up, but especially for the 6-9 year old tooth-less crowd. It tells about teeth in more than 20 countries and it is really fun to compare all the different traditions. I am also a Spanish teacher and I always share the tooth traditions from Latin America with the students. I did, however, ask a friend of mine about the Argentine tooth tradition in the book and she said she had never heard of it! (
• Bought the book for my military-dependent grandchildren, 2nd grade and kindergarten, who live overseas. Their school has an international population. They plan to take the book to school to share with their teachers and classmates.
• Our whole family enjoys this book! Charming illustrations bring cultural traditions from around the world to life...and smiles to all within earshot.

• This is a very unique book that tells about the traditions for losing teeth in lots of different countries. It is very educational not only geography-wise, but also anatomy-wise as it discusses parts of the tooth and the different names of teeth in the back of the book. My daughter, who is 6 and can't wait to lose teeth, loved it and is deciding which tradition she wants to do when she loses teeth.
