BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
The tooth fairy is not a little fairy at all, but a tough
CEO of her own company. In this book we learn about how Tallulah manages to run
her company and keep her life balanced. Tallulah schedules self care during the
week and hires smart women to work with.
The illustrations are modern and stylish, but the best part
of this book is seeing a female boss. I hope Tallulah is one of the first of
many strong female CEOs we get to see in picture books. As a boss, she sets a
good example, balancing her life with exercise, therapy and listening to others
before making deliberate decisions about her company.
