Award-winning, bestselling children’s book author Joan Holub and illustratorLeslie Patricelli present a hilarious board book in the mini mythical Brush Your Hair, Medusa!
Medusa refuses to care for her hair, her long locks getting knottier and dirtier with each passing page. Her hair rebellion elicits frozen expressions of shock from her family, but nothing will convince Medusa to brush. Only her hairdresser approaches Medusa with bravery and a blade, successfully solving the problem . . . with a short haircut! All are pleased with this drastic yet adorable solution.
Leslie Patricelli’s depictions of this physical comedy bring a lively visual narrative to Joan Holub’s expertly focused text. Includes a summary of the original Medusa’s Wild Hair myth at the end.
“[T]he story is a cute one with a familiar toddler scenario and charming illustrations . . . this is a lighthearted look at the conflict between grown-ups and strong-willed tots with their own agendas.” —Kirkus Reviews
