From Publishers Weekly A bit too flimsy to fly， this introductory tale in the Fairy School series stars young Belinda Dentalette， who is just beginning her first year in fairy school. She longs to join the traditional family occupation and become a tooth fairy， but frets about her utter lack of a sense of direction and her inability to read a map. And fret she should: although she aces the other courses (e.g.， in painting rainbows and scattering fairy dust)， Belinda scores low marks in tooth fairy class. To make matters worse， her snide archrival， another aspiring tooth fairy， announces that Belinda will be a failure at the job. Determined to prove her worth， Belinda travels from Fairyland to "Earth-Below" to try to find the home of one of the "Little Big People" who has just lost a tooth. Predictably， friends and family rescue the hopelessly lost fairy and reaffirm their love for her. Coy and studded with clich?s， this outing is obvious from start to finish. Ages 6-9. (June) Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information， Inc. From School Library Journal Grade 2-4-This easy chapter-book series focuses on a group of young female fairies who are just starting school. Belinda Dentalette believes she is destined to carry on the family tradition and become a tooth fairy. However， she has a poor sense of direction， putting her at the bottom of tooth-fairy class， which emphasizes map reading and navigation. Although she excels in all of her other subjects， she worries that her parents will be disappointed if she doesn't follow in their footsteps. Determined to succeed， Belinda sneaks into the Earth-Below where the Big People live， hoping to prove herself by exchanging a tooth for money. She becomes lost but manages to save a bird falling from its nest. Belinda's friends and family find her and the book ends with a celebration. A few black-and-white illustrations are scattered throughout. Children will enjoy the ups and downs of a young， very humanlike fairy trying to find her place in the world.Barb Lawler， Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh， PA Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information， Inc.
