Batina’s story is one of determination and teamwork…The positive message of working together and embracing diversity makes this early-level chapter book, illustrated by Gabhor Utomo, shine.
Batina’s Best First Day is a skillfully written children’s story that teaches several important lessons: Always do your best, accept other people’s differences, never give up and (of course) brush your teeth!
This story is adorable and whimsical, and kids will love those fairies. The illustrations are enchanting and give good pace and movement to the story, breathing life into the characters.
With short chapters, lots of color illustrations, an age-appealing topic and an appropriate reading level, I think Denise Ditto has nailed it.
Tooth Fairy Day Celebration is a must-share, absolutely magical children’s book
Tooth Fairy Day Celebration is a fun series installment that’s less focused on dental hygiene and more on magical hijinks.
What happens when a tooth fairy collects a rotten tooth? Nothing sweet! Children and those who love to read to them are sure to love the second book in the Tooth Collector Fairies series and be sure to brush better as a result!
