The Girl Who Wouldn't Brush Her Hair

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jake Parker. A hairbrush-spurning girl discovers that mice have taken up residence in her tresses. This cautionary tale is soft-edged: it's her teacher's "only one friend for naptime" policy that finally convinces the girl to have a "calm talk" with her tiny tenants, whom she has good-naturedly tolerated. Parker cleverly shows the mice using the hair for a volleyball court, as a cinema, etc.
