Toothiana, Part 4: Battle Is Waged

Toothiana #4

by William Joyce

Pitch, the Nightmare King, is back—but so are the Guardians.

And this time, there's a new Guardian in town. Toothiana, Queen of the Tooth Fairy Armies, is famous for swiping baby teeth in exchange for coins and other small gifts...but there's a whole lot more to her than that. She's fierce and fast and has the uncanny ability to multiply herself into many tiny selves. (How did you think she got to all those pillows each night?) And all those teeth she's been collecting? They contain memories. The forgotten memories of childhood. Memories invaluable to the Guardians...as well as Pitch.

About the author

William Joyce does a lot of stuff—films, apps, Olympic curling—but children’s books are his true bailiwick (The Numberlys, The Man in the Moon, Nicholas St. North and the Battle of the Nightmare King, Toothiana, and the #1 New York Times bestselling The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, which is also an Academy Award–winning short film, to name a few). He lives with his family in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Some might find these corny, but they send a very positive message.
I can't wait for my son to be old enough to read them.

Can't provide a proper review as this is the only of the series that I have, and therefore can only experience this as a part of the whole. Regardless, the writing style, plot points, and length leave much to be desired, and is certainly not a story I would feel needs sharing.

Cute, but a bit too graphic for young readers.
