In this pretty fun book Isadora loses her vampire tooth and meets the tooth fairy.
I was so excited for a new book in the series! I read this one in Dutch, but writing my review in English so more people get to know about Isadora.
I just loved to read about the traditions of fairies and vampires. The vampires are proud of changing their teeth and hang them in a frame on the wall. Whereas fairies put them under their pillows and get a silver (or gold) coin from the tooth fairy! I could imagine that Isadora wasn’t sure what to do, I mean, she is both fairy and vampire so which one to pick?
I also love the theme of changing your teeth. It is such a big event in a child’s life. The moment when you start to have wobbly teeth and get a whole set of new ones.
It was great that the dad took her along to the dentist and made her see what was going on during a visit, plus also added a reward. Which I just found sweet. I also am happy that he accepted her decision after that first visit. He didn’t get angry, yes, he was disappointed, but he accepted it.
But I did think it was a bit meh how the tooth fairy acted when she found out that Isadora hasn’t been to the dentist yet. Um, as Isadora says to her friend, vampires DON’T go to the dentist until their adult teeth come out, and since until now she has had her kid’s teeth, I think it was a bit weird that the toothfairy was all huffity about it.
Plus, I found it a bit preachy in general. It felt at times more like a booklet for good kids to remember to brush your teeth. Dentists are not scary (not agreeing fully on that XD). Go to the dentist often. Get new brushes. Blablabla. Just like with another Isadora book about climate change/cleaning up the planet. Not sure about the last topic, but I have read some really fun books about tooth fairies and also about brushing, but this one just felt too pushy.
Also, if someone has hidden their teeth that well… just don’t go into their rooms and make a chaos of the place they may have hidden it. Seriously. I would think the number one rule for tooth fairies should be that a child has a choice. Not on the bed/under the pillow. No deal. Done.
I did love that the tooth fairy was a mouse and that they had a fun midnight picnic. Plus, I loved that Isadora found the perfect solution for what her mom or her dad wants. I am also glad that her parents left her to the choice. Didn’t push it.
I loved the fun extras at the end. Making a medal, a fun quiz, a recipe.
The art was once again fabulous. I just love how cute it is.
So all in all, despite the OMG dentists are good and brush your teeth stuff, I did have fun. I am happy to meet yet another magical creature, see some more of Isadora’s life + get a dose of cute illustrations.

Entrare a far parte del mondo di Isadora Moon è sempre una magica meraviglia perché è lei è una bambina speciale. Infatti, la sua mamma è una fata, mentre il suo papà è un vampiro.
Isadora sa di essere unica e ogni giorno è un’avventura che vive facendo risaltare alle volte la parte della fata, mentre in altre quello della vampira.
La piccola sta crescendo e anche il suo corpo inizia a cambiare, come la perdita dei dentini da latte. Entrambi i suoi genitori sono entusiasti e le propongono le tradizioni delle loro origini.
Le fate mettono il dentino sotto il cuscino attendendo che nella notte arrivi la fatina dei denti per prenderlo, lasciando un soldino come regalo.
I vampiri li lucidano e incorniciano, appendendoli alla parete di casa. Per di più, i vampiri tengono moltissimo alla pulizia e lucidatura dei denti e il papà di Isadora fissa l’appuntamento dal dottor Vernacola per fare un controllo ai denti della figlia.
Ma quando la paura è tanta, non è sufficiente abbracciare il coniglietto rosa per calmarsi, e la dolce Isadora riceverà un consiglio da un’essere magico quanto inaspettato.
La lettura è piacevole, ci si incanta mentre si legge della normalità della vita di Isadora dove la parte magica si unisce alla quotidianità umana.
Inoltre, memore della mia esperienza come assistente alla poltrona, devo fare i complimenti per come la figura del dentista viene impostata e ogni suo gesto è effettivamente quello che un dottore umano farebbe al suo piccolo paziente.
Al termine del libro si trovano tre attività differenti da fare assieme ai bambini e continuare divertirsi come Isadora e i suoi magici amici!

The story itself was good, I felt like some parts of it just didn't make much sense. (Did the appeal of profit make Isadora fight her fear of the dentist or am I missing something?) Other than that it was magical as usual and even had some more lyrical/moralistic writing at the end [my favourite bits].
6,75 or more¿? (quite hard to rate this one!!) may need to think ab it some more

Fangs out

3.5/5 The Isadora Moon series are very popular short chapter books suitable for readers aged 7+ With a lovely illustration style and accessible text the stories are a great option for developing readers who are building confidence and beginning to tackle longer books. This particular edition sees Isadora conquering her fear of the dentist and making a tough decision while trying to balance the conflicting traditions on both sides of her family (she's half vampire and half fairy) . I really enjoyed the thoughtfulness with which both of these highly relatable issues are addressed and I will definitely be recommending these to all of my pupils who enjoy fantasy/magical stories!

La verdad, es un buen libro con el que seguramente muchos niños (y muchos adultos que fueron niños) seguramente se identifiquen, especialmente por el miedo al dentista.
Por supuesto, me gustó mucho
En cualquier caso, otro buen libro que recomiendo.

These are lovely early chapter books about a little girl who is half fairy and half vampire called Isadora Moon.
My daughter really loves this series of books and even chose to dress up as her for World Book Day this year which included sewing a pink rabbit toy! This is the latest book which I think she read all in one go!
There are black/white/pink illustrations throughout which are fab!

I love the Isadora Moon series and this book is a great one. It deals with 3 things, losing your teeth, fear of the dentist and if that wasn’t enough finding ways to be true to yourself. Losing your first teeth are scary and a lot of people hate the dentist. I loved this book and the mouse tooth fairy! Another great read with an amazing cheese scone recipie.

El primer llibre "de veritat" que llegim amb el meu fill. És una història sobre la superació de la por al dentista. No serveix per a adults, em segueix fent pànic i demà tinc cita. Todo mal.

I love it when she meets the tooth fairy! And when she gives the medal to her.

Hacía tiempo que no leía un libro de la serie Isadora Moon, así que me alegré mucho de poder leer por fin uno. Me ha decepcionado un poco porque el tema de la historia no me ha interesado demasiado, pero los dibujos me han gustado mucho, como siempre.
