One of those books that just isn't written for children.

Fun and fierce, with hilarious illustrations, but the plot fizzled a bit. Ages 5-7.

Tallulah is a strong leader of her own company (Tooth Fairies) and makes times for self-care and problem solves with her team of people. I love the awesomely strong and successful black representation in this picture book by Dr Tamara Pizzoli!
Chic illustrations by Italian artist Fabiani adds class to this story as well.

Adults may enjoy the humor in this one more than kids will - it is very funny. Tallulah has taken her passion for teeth and monetized it, becoming a successful tooth fairy CEO with a side of fabulous. Lots of funny nods, in both text and illustration to social movements. I lol'd several times.

Eh. While I absolutely loved the artwork of this picture book, I think that I only enjoyed it as an adult. It didn't feel as though it was written for children especially down to some of the racial irony that was used within the text. I understand where the author was coming from as a black female adult; however, if I was to sit down and attempt to read this to my daughter when she turns 4 or 5 I honestly don't believe that she would come close to even beginning to understand anything that the text is attempting to say. I also didn't get the ending of the book or the purpose of the ending. It just featured a boy who misplaced the tooth that he lost. Tallulah sort of addresses how to handle the problem, but to be honest it really isn't explored. I don't know I'm the only reader who felt this way, but I loved the art just not the story itself.

I don't know what to think of this book. I really loved the story how Tallulah is an African American tooth fairy with a passion for teeth. She is a powerful entrepreneur and now runs the largest tooth organization in the planet. However, there are small comments throughout the book that don't make sense in this story. The organization is called the NAACP-T, the protest against Mrs. Claws wearing furs, the comment of lack of diversity on the board, and a white fairy wearing a #allfairiesmatter shirt. I am not sure the purpose of these comments in the context of a tooth fairy story.

I first came across Dr. Tamara Pizzoli's "Tallulah The Tooth Fairy CEO" on a list on Publisher's Weekly, and from the title and cover alone wanted to give to give the book a try because of the inclusion of a woman of color as the main character, and for the creative concept and approach to the iconic woman of lore.
What I did not expect was for the book to be as wordy as it was. The illustrations were full of witty and fun details, but most would only make sense to adults reading the book, and fly over the heads of most young or maturing readers. Nevertheless, it all worked well together.
While I no longer get visits from Tallulah or her co-workers, I hope other children are lucky enough to make her acquaintance.

I think another review said it perfectly: weird, but fun. I enjoyed the down-to-earth business sense of this Tooth Fairy, who doesn't often get fleshed out with this level of detail. Interesting moments in the pictures and text asides: I particularly appreciated the happy hour meet up between Tallulah and Mrs. Claus. I have my doubts about whether Tallulah would really have neglected to create a policy for missing teeth - she seems pretty on top of everything - but then, as evidenced by her therapist's notes, there's the question of whether or not our fairy here is perhaps just an overenthusiastic, tooth-obsessed, grown up.
Fun for the right kiddo.
