I read this when I was younger and I loved it. For those of you who are saying things like (and I quote); "I can't believe a children's author would be so insensitive as to totally disillusion children like Johanna H. did!!! She should be ashamed of herself!!! She needs to take into consideration her audience and their age...6-9 year olds!! Does she not realize that this is the age when they are bombarded with so many negative images and influences and Johanna trying to take one of the last few things children believe in is disheartening." My response is that she wouldn't have anything to shatter in the first place had you not *LIED* to your child about such a thing existing!! My own parents lied to me about Santa Claus, and I was *crushed* when I was 5 and found out he wasn't real. I don't understand what part of our society tells us that it's okay to lie to our kids about Santa Claus and have their hearts be broken when they find out he's not real? What kind of parent are you to implement that kind of torture on your children? I personally plan on telling my kids that Santa Claus, the tooth fairy and the easter bunny don't exist, but they're welcome to believe that they do, if they so wish. After being told that Santa Claus didn't exist, I knew that the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny didn't either, so this book ruined nothing for me. And think of it this way...if Johanna Hurwitz didn't ruin the Tooth Fairy lie for your darling...some child at school will.

Warning! This book gives away the tooth fairy!

Johanna Hurwitz is an excellent author, the chapters are quick and easy reads, perfect for children beginning chapter books or for bedtime read alouds. However, in this book (second to the last chapter) please be aware that the truth about the tooth fairy is revealed. For some children, it may not be a problem, but for others in the intended age group it could be disturbing.
