This review is from: Hattie, Get A Haircut! (Hardcover)

I don't know a single child who isn't afraid of his/her first haircut. Hattie Get A Haircut takes children on a magical adventure to a land where long hair causes many mishaps and attracts the strangest things, like nesting birds. In the end, Hattie not only gets her hair cut, but she found out it wasn't as scarey as she once thought. A bonus to the book is the fact that Hattie's stuffed bear mimicks Hattie's facial expressions, which makes it a fun way to turn this book into an interactive adventure as you and your child not only look for the bear throughout the book, but mimick Hattie as well.

This review is from: Hattie, Get A Haircut! (Hardcover)

We have been searching for a child's book dealing with this dilema for a few years now with zero luck. Jenna Glatzer, may the Good Lord shower you and your family with mountains of blessings for bringing this flawless gem into lives! The illustrations are delightful compliments to the perfectly-paced read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever and Cute Book - My Kids Love It, November 15, 2005

By 

Debbie (CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hattie, Get A Haircut! (Hardcover)

My 2 & 4 year old kids were quite happy to discover a new book waiting for them after naptime. Hattie has become my 4 year old daughter's favorite book. The illustrations are adorable. The rhymes are cute. My daughter has begun repeating some of Hattie's phrases, and never fails to ask questions about the illustrations, like why there are animals in Hattie's hair during the dream. She loves seeing Hattie's new haircut and wants me to cut her hair the same way (fortunately she doesn't have a haircut phobia, though her hair doesn't grow fast enough to warrant many cuts herself).

Even my 2 year old son sits through the entire reading, staring intently at the page - unusual for a boy that age! As an adult, I can appreciate the story and don't (yet) mind reading it several times a day.
