Out Today! The fabulous "Tooth Fairy in Training" by Michelle Robinson and Briony May Smith (Walker Books)

With a cover more sparkly than a pair of well-brushed gnashers, today sees the release of the truly brilliant "Tooth Fairy in Training" by Michelle Robinson and Briony May Smith, a creative dynamic duo par excellence.

If you think being a tooth fairy is easy, just a case of a quick 'bait and switch' coin-for-tooth under a kidlet's pillow, think again!

Tate is the titular tooth fairy in training, and her big sister May is taking her out for the first time on a mission that's going to be a tad more dangerous than both fairies expected.

Not all teeth are tucked under pillows in quaint comfortable urban surroundings, so Tate and May will trek across steamy jungles, deep-dive into the oceans or shiver their timbers in the icy frozen wastes of the arctic.

...and it's not just humans who expect a reward for their polished loose gnashers. Crocodiles and snakes? Oh my!

Exquisite rhyming, beautiful illustrations and a theme that will appeal to all kids, whether they have a sweet tooth or not! What a brilliant team Michelle and Briony make! (Look out for the line about Melissa - it's a corker!)

Sum this book up in a sentence: A superb rhyming story of adventure, excitement, sisterly bonding and perilously loose gnashers!

"Tooth Fairy in Training" by Michelle Robinson and Briony May Smith is out today, published by Walker Books (kindly supplied for review).
