It's said that Oliver Sundew isn't an obvious choice for the special team of tooth fairies set to bring back a particularly special tooth. But, though disappointment is great, he's good-naturedly pleased at his friends' selection, and then, dramatically, his swimming talents make his help crucial to the final success of the expedition. Full of urgency and fun, this well-illustrated tale also suggests that tooth fairies consider a tooth's condition when assessing which coins to leave! Subject interest from 6+ but the humour was more fully appreciated by slightly older children.
