Dün 27 aylık birine okudum ve fark ettim ki biraz daha büyük çocuklar için daha uygun. Çizimler müthiş! Hikaye de çok sevimli. Saç kestirmek bazı çocuklarda büyük bir mesele onu da biliyorum. Çok hoşuma gitti baba-kızın saçları üzerinden kurduğu ilişki. Orijinal bir hikaye!

Very funny story about a girl who keeps her hair long and a dad that loses his hair. The book would be great for younger years as its quite funny, great pictures and easy story to follow. The scene does have some actions that could be demonstrated in the classroom and there are roles to play if children wanted. Mainly aimed at key stage one children but the book was read and enjoyed by year 6 so can be used through out the school years

A hilarious story about the troubles girls with long hair have! A twist on an everyday 'issue' for girls which is also full of adventure.

To declare an interest, this is written by The Brother (not the one featured in Myles-na-Coppaleen's writings, but my actual brother. It's a great story and wittily illustrated.
