Big Wig: A Little History of Hair

48 pp. | Scholastic/Levine | August, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-439-67640-3 $18.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Peter Malone. The history of hair is told chronologically through strands of facts grouped by time period, from "Prehistory, Africa" ("One day, cave painters notice that their paintbrushes aren't bad at grooming hair") through "2007, England" ("Someone gets the most expensive haircut ever--$16,300.00"). The conversational tone and humorous (while also gallery-worthy) paintings bolster the volume's kid-friendliness. Bib.
