This story is cute, which is called "The Toot Fairy." What a way to bring something that we do not like too much. In a fun way. This book may bring a smile to your child or children. A fairy that wanted to collect teeth but misspoke. What way to start your fairy career and find you did not get the job you wanted.

Maybe we have toots fairies that help with our smells we do not like, and they are somewhat noisy. Children can learn at the same time about toots and what we eat. They may get a coin without knowing it. This book teaches that in a sweet way.

Pictures are down well. I wish I had a print copy of this book, but otherwise, it was a decent book and enjoyable. I know I have not read a book that is like this book. Children seem to enjoy fairies and like the story behind this book.

Ever wonder where those mysterious coins that you might have left behind in the yard or didn't know you dropped? It's possible someone or something left it for you to find. Fairies seem to have different careers, and maybe one misspoke. Parents can use this to help teach a child or children about the food we eat and what comes out of our bottom.
  
Everything no joke (0 more)
This book is honestly for everyone from first time readers to long time readers and from young children to the elderly there's something for everyone. The character will continues throughout the book to develope in character rapidly and you can really see his growth from child to adult. With all the trouble will gets into it's not hard to see why I would recommend this to those who enjoy Harry potter

Okay, so I was excited at discovering there was still one other story to feature the Children of the Vault! And Carey was at the helm? Kinda-sorta excited. Art by Clay Mann? I think he is a good artist, but I was indifferent at that. Unfortunately, I was not expecting to be as disappointed as I was with this collection!

The story seemed to be good in concept, but when it played out? Hmm.. not so much! I felt Rogue was far too angsty during this period, reminding of yet another reason of why I gave reading the X-books during Carey's run!

Besides the story disappointing (come on? Another Children of the Vault story? It should'a been better!), the art really bothered me! I felt the female characters were objectified, looking not unlike a fanboy's bootleg comic! And even worse? Other than Indra's parents, no one looked even <u>remotely</u> Indian? What the fuck?!? This was supposed to Mumbai, for crying out loud, not Miami Beach!!

Conclusion? You can skip on this one! Only reason I gave it 2 *'s was due to some textual backstory to the Children of the Vault!

Are you shopping for Halloween theme books for your child or children? Well. “The Costume Contest” by Roger Carlson is a good one to have on your child’s bookshelves. It deals with Halloween, and it also helps with cooperation and conflict solution.

We meet Aaron and Ava for this story. The story behind this is sweet. Will Aaron help his little sister out with her costume and the contest? You will see that Aaron wants to be something different for Halloween? But did Aaron promise to be a cat with Ava or not?

Children will learn about conflict solutions and solving problems through cooperation. I like how the two kids figure out their trick-or-treating costumes between themselves, though with parents’ support. What does Aaron decide to do?

The author put this story on Halloween, focused on friendship, and saw what happens when they trick-treating. Who ends up willing to participate in the costume contest? The pictures are so colorful. Are the different costumes you see while Aaron and Ava are trick or treating? This book is a sweet story and has a few teaching lessons through the book.

Parents will enjoy having this book on their shelves. Children will want to read this book again and again. It is suitable for the Halloween season, along with some teachable lessons for children.
