Daddy Hairdo

Daddy Hairdo is the funny tale of Amy, her Dad and her huge amounts of hair! As Amy's hair grows and grows, Dad seems to be losing his. After them attempting to search for it Dad turns his efforts to Amy's hair creating the biggest, boldest and most amazing hairstyles in town. As Amy and her Dad become a sensation, her styles start to come with a few problems. Daddy's Hairdo is funny from start to finish, with little jokes and puns throughout. The illustrations are brilliant and help massively with the story telling. I enjoyed how the story was centred around a girl and her father and how he has to learn something new to help his daughter. This would be a great story in foundation stage, it is funny, engaging and bright. Picture Book / Ages 5+ / Reviewed By Lauren Maidman, teacher.

I knew even from page one that this was a book to love. The characters' expressions, as Amy's hair grows and grows whilst dad loses his, are a treat - parents and teachers will find this book as funny as children will. As Amy's hair grows ever longer and wilder, dad steps up to the plate with some fantastic hairdos to save the day. Personal favourite? The Rings of Saturn. It's nice to see a dad in the foreground for a change, with no mention of mum. The illustrations are vibrant and stimulating and have lots of those small extra details that kids love to spot on second and third read-throughs. I want to live in Amy's world! This is a book you can return to time and again, that shines with wit, warmth and humour. Highly recommended. Picture book / Ages 3+ / Reviewed by Carol Carter.
