Bookroo's summary
Medusa's hair is a tangled mess, and her refusal to brush it leaves her family in shock. As her locks grow knottier, only a brave hairdresser dares to intervene. With a bold snip, Medusa's hair is transformed, leaving everyone delighted with the unexpected outcome. Will this drastic change finally tame her wild spirit, or is it just the beginning of another adventure? Discover the humor and charm in this playful twist on a classic myth, where a haircut becomes the ultimate solution to a familiar toddler dilemma.
From the publisher
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.
