Summary: interesting history of the tooth fairy
Comment: I found this book fun to read because it gave a nonfiction history of the tooth fairy that also included many tooth traditions. I disagree that this book was not a narrative. Quite the reverse, TOOTH TALES had a running story line while the other tooth book mentioned provided a single caption per picture per site around the world. These are two different books that offer two different versions of tooth tradition. I do agree that the title TOOTH TALES FROM AROUND THE WORLD is misleading, but I didn't find this book to be about witchcraft, which seems to be the other reviewers realk concern.

Summary: Not what I expected
Comment: I bought both this book, and one with a similar title by Selby Beeler, figuring I'd get one right. This book was not the one. Brill focuses on witchcraft and other oddities related to losing one's teeth, but does not actually go into the various traditions around the world (as I expected from the title).

The other book ("Throw your tooth on the roof"), was great! It had short descriptions of tooth traditions from a variety of countries, and was written in a way that my son could read along, learn about the various traditions, and more importantly, learn about different nationalities and proper tooth care.

Brill's book was not written in a read-along style and my son was not a big fan of the dark illustrations, even though they were beautifully drawn.

If I had it to do over again, I'd skip this book and only buy the other one.
