Who hasn't suffered bedhead?!? This book nails it. Great fun to share before that famous picture day at school!

Rhyming book about a childs hair it out of control. They do everything in their power to fix it but time is limted because it is picture day at school! This book is great for teachers to do right before picture day and talk about the problem in the story

Give it a read.

book, I had the students draw me a picture of what they thought the book demonstrated. I didn't show them the illustrations right away. I would read the page, give them a minute to think about what the illustrations might look like and have them use their imagination and then I would show them the actual illustration. That helped students be creative and create their own illustrations to follow the book.

I liked this book, because of all the detail that was given to describe how bad the main characters hair was. I disliked the book, because at times, it was very wordy, and I felt like I couldn't take a break at some points to breathe. I also liked how a lot of the words made noises in the story,
