The day Michael loses his first tooth, his mother tells him about the Tooth Fairy and her duty. Michael is extremely excited to receive her visit and even more when, waking up, he finds a fifty-dollar bill under his pillow. Reportedly, it is unusual for the Tooth Fairy to give this much: in the haste, she just made a mistake. Now, she might not be able to bring money to other children. Will Michael help her remedy the situation?

The Tooth Fairy Makes A Mistake is a children’s book by Great-Aunt Rita. I think the author did a brilliant job with this book because it puts children in front of a major moral quandary. They’ll have to confront an egoistical desire with the collective well-being and make the right choice along with Michael. This is a lesson that in my opinion is never too soon to learn.

The illustrations are by Victor Guiza. I believe he made a remarkable work: I absolutely love the graphics. Little Michael without his tooth is adorable, and the level of detail in the background is impressive for a children’s book. The colours are so vivid and a treat for the eyes; I really liked the palette chosen, with a lot of chromatic contrasts, rich in blues and yellows. Moreover, as a European, I genuinely appreciated the cameo of my childhood friend, the White Fairy Rat.

The book itself is quite short, only counting 26 pages. I think it would be ideal to read all in one sitting as a bedtime story, maybe the night before a visit from the Tooth Fairy is due.

So, a challenging dilemma for children, unique illustrations, and immaculate editing: this book undoubtedly deserves a perfect score since I could not find a single feature I didn't like. I am happy to rate it 4 out of 4 stars. I would recommend it to children from four to six years old. It will show them that everyone is going to commit mistakes one day or the other, what matters most is to try to make things right afterwards.

I love the message in this book. The kids will learn a lot. It simply teaches the children not to take what's not their own and always help people in need.

Well ! It's an awesome children's books vibrantly illustrated showing children the valuable lessons that even tooth fairy can make mistake..When Michael lost his front tooth he put it under tis pillow, anticipating a visit from a tooth fairy in a hurry the tooth fairy accidentally leave him too much money which means there won't be enough money for other children who Lost their tooth. I like how great Aunt Rita has Crafted an original story that humanize tooth fairy and teaches that anyone can make mistake it Isa fun read for children

The book is amazing and it teaches parents how to deal with an unexpected situations like for the 50dollar bill.i believe parents have to be careful before they do anything concerning their children and the idea of a tooth fairy is a motivating thing to children to always learn to remove their own teeth when the right time comes in order to receive a good reward.

They say teach a child when they are young and you can never go wrong the book was absolutely brilliant teaching child core values in life by using term they understand and a character they are familiar with.

Very interesting to see how the tooth fairy handles the situation after making am mistake without taking the magic from the event, and also teaching a great lesson.
