I Won't Comb My Hair

32 pp. | North-South | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7358-2315-0 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Frauke Bahr. Stubborn Tanya refuses to comb her hair. She doesn't mind when birds take up residence there--but she does balk at the panthers and snakes. This cautionary tale is fairly by-the-book, down to its turnaround ending. The illustrations aren't surehanded, but kids will cackle at the depiction of Tanya's pre-epiphany hair and they'll ooh and ahh at the lenticular cover.
