The Flim-Flam Fairies

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Michael Slack. Offering alternatives to the too-sweet Tooth Fairy, a series of impostors (the Earwax Fairy and the Clipped Toenail Fairy are the mildest examples) take turns telling readers which bodily refuse to put under their pillows. Katz has great stamina with what should be a tiresome running joke. The bodily function–themed illustrations are improbably fastidious.
