As I was reading, I wondered, "How did the author come up with this?" Some of it was really weird, like the little girl being scared of a haircut, but she took the bus at night by herself. The little vampire hairdresser ran away and somehow the monster vampire dad found them and chased them and then cried, and the spirit cat that followed them, these scenes were a little weird to me. I'd say it was a goofy book that didn't make too much sense to me, but maybe other people with a bigger imagination than I have would like it. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Elsie hates getting her haircut. There's absolutely nothing more terrifying for her. "They squirt you and they pull and they snip!" she cries in her most horribly loud voice. "I'm never going again. EVER!" But after some coercion from her parents, Elsie reluctantly tries a new hairdresser named Boris Lazzario. Almost immediately, Boris is eager to cut her hair, but then learns of her fear. Reassuringly, Boris explains that his father, Count Lazzario, also dreads haircuts and is unhappy by Boris's profession Boris. When confronted with the mean Count Lazzario, Elsie learns that she must be brave, in the end, both she and the count learn that haircuts are not so scary after al. With playful text and distinct illustrations, this story will surely improve any child's perception on those dreaded haircuts! No library descriptions found. |
