My audiance loved it!

...Timeless myth takes a new reality in this beautifully illustrated version of THE TOOTH FAIRY: THE TOUCH OF KINDNESS. Concealed within an entertaining story about young Piper Noble are a number of lessons that parents will appreciate. For example, children learn about the power of love, of accepting other differences, and respect for all people. Having tried this book on an audience ages five and eight, THE TOOTH FAIRY LEGEND is a hit! My young audiance loved the mustic aand narration on the accompanying CDs, and enjoyed following along with the text in the book. They were entranced by the story, and talked about it for days. As a professional caregiver, I appreciated the opportunity for them to enjoy a long story without the TV that we usually have going. For a terrific story accompanied by the beautiful music and marvelous illustrations, THE TOOTH FAIRY LEGEND; THE TOUCH OF KINDNESS comes very highly recommended.

The Legend Lives

As a teacher of elementary-age school children, I was delighted to read Long and Meyer's "Touch of Kindness." The sensitivity with which the subject matter was treated was an important issue for me. I teach children who are struggling to understand and cope with the fear of some strange winged creature entering their bedrooms to retrieve teeth in the middle of the night. How wonderful that a book finally exists that explains it all in a humorous and yet adventurous manner. The book should keep any youngster on the edge of his or her seat. The fact that the book is chaptered allows someone in my capacity to take time with the telling of the story and ask and answer a multitude of questions that will certainly surface in the classroom. And the read-along, sing-along CD's that are provided as an extra bonus will allow for some more than pleasurable moments in the "reading corner." In addition, the art work adds incredible dimension to the storyline. I can't wait to get back to work in September and introduce my new class to the wonderful, creative minds of Long and Meyer and the special world of "The Legend of the Tooth Fairy."

My grandchildren loved the LEGEND OF THE TOOTH FAIRY

THE TOOTH FAIRY LEGEND-A TOUCH OF KINDNESS by Long and Meyer is a first class childrn's book complete with narration and two CD's of the musical. The book adds a third dimention in its beautiful illustrations by artist, Nadine Zenobi.My two grandchildren, Elizabeth,five and Mary,seven, were spellbound as they "read" the book along with their Nanny while listening to the CD's. Of the many gifts I sent the children, The TOOTH FAIRY LEGEND seemed to be most appreciated, especially since Mary had just lost a tooth.Kudos to Long and Meyer on writing a warm and relevant book which teaches being kind to one another is its own reward.

Highly enjoyable for reading or listening to

Collaboratively written by John Arthur Long and Chet Meyer, The Tooth Fairy Legend: The Touch Of Kindness is an engaging book, that comes with two audio CDs which narrate the original story along with fully-orchestrated songs. Color illustrations by Nadine Zenobi intersperse this delightful saga about what happens to the teeth collecting by the tooth fairy, and the young heroes who meet and must defend her work on the Isle of Kindness. Strongly recommended for family, school, and community library collections, The Tooth Fairy Legend is highly enjoyable for reading or listening to.

FUNNY, BEAUTIFUL PICTURES, PERFECT FOR AGE

My six-year old daughter and I love this book. There is nothing so wonderful as the magical, whimsical world of fairies, and this book is full of enchanting details about these tiny winged creatures who help make the world a special place to live. I first bought the book because my daughter was entering "tooth losing" age and was concerned about the tooth fairy visiting her room while she was asleep. This was such an entertaining approach to the story of the tooth fairy that she quickly got over any fear she may have had. She was so intrigued by the story and the characters that she wouldn't let me stop reading it to her! The fact that the book has chapters is great. You don't feel like you have to finish the book in one evening. Everything about this picture book is elegant, engaging, and exquisite, from the beautiful, intricate, and expressive illustrations to the gentle and sweet CD that you can get with the book. Even though the recommended reading age says 4 to 8, my two-year-old son was interested in it, as well. He even remembered Aunt Flossie's name a week after we had read the story. This is a wonderful book to share with a child. I highly recommend it.
