The Dirtiest Hair in the World

Overview

Claire has long, beautiful hair. She also has a mind of her own. And one day she decides she will not wash her hair. At first, her hair is not so bad. But as the weeks go by, tangles grow to brambles. Luckily, even a very stubborn girl can change her mind. When Claire announces, ‘I’ll wash my hair!’; that’s when the fun begins. You won’t believe what crawls, walks, falls, and flies out of Claire’s hair. Children of all ages will enjoy this vividly illustrated rhyming tale of a girl who learns her lesson…or does she?

“This book is a WINNER! Its not-so-subtle hygienic message is delivered with fantasy and humor. The illustrations are gorgeous and detailed.”—Margaret McGilvray, Primary Teacher/Principal (ret.)

“As original as it is entertaining…beautifully told and illustrated…highly recommended for family, school, and community library children’s picturebook collections.”—Midwest Book Review Children’s Bookwatch

“Girls and boys will be tickled by this rhymed story of a girl who refused to wash her hair, sending her parents into despair and her cat fleeing. And when she finally did, well, they found a whole lot of stuff nestled up there, including a unicorn!”—St. Paul Pioneer Press, “Best Children’s Books”
