I love this book and want to buy fifteen copies and give one to everyone I know.
That's just my way.

A girl who washed her hair, but wouldn't brush it, had many mice "move" into her hair. I could see young children thinking this is very funny, but it didn't work for me. Illustrations are beautiful.

Got this from the library in hopes of convincing Kathryn that brusing your hair is a good thing. She still doesn't enjoy it, but at least she doesn't have a colony of mice living on her head.

My 4 year old saw this at Half Price Books and wanted it. As a reward for her good behavior while out shopping, I bought it.
This is a cute story about a little girl with long beautiful hair, which she refuses to brush. (Hmm.... sounds like both my daughters!)
What happens when the girl won't brush her hair? Well, little mice move in of course. The girl, not being afraid of mice lets them stay and before you know it, she's got a whole colony of mice! The mice however, do not like the water. They demand that the girl not bathe, and since the girl likes her mice friends, she stops bathing. Before long, nobody wants to be around the girl (not even her baby doll!) She has to make a tough choice: let the mice stay and be stinky and dirty, or send the mice packing and clean up.
I love the artwork in this book. It's a CG style, very much in line with current cartoons like Tangled, about another girl with long beautiful hair. The pictures are bright and vibrant, the mice are adorable. Both my girls (4 and almost 9) enjoyed the story and looking at the pictures.
I had high hopes that this book might encourage my girls to let us brush their hair, alas, those dreams were crushed. They both still cry when it's time to brush their hair, but at least they don't have mice living on their heads!

Who knew that a book about personal hygiene could be so entertaining! I love clever picture books that teaches the children a useful lesson. Also liked the perspective that even if "it's just your way" you still need to take care of yourself. Since the consequences isn't usually mentioned in todays society where "be yourself" is being preached everywhere.

I'm sure we all know a headstrong girl like this one who refuses to heed advice. In this instance, life became unbearable for her after mice decide to live in her hair.

Humorous, albeit a tad creepy, tale about a girl who allows mice to nest in her hair and the problems this causes.

This funny story about a colony of mice that start living in a girls tangled hair would make a great storytime read. The was some really great vocabulary and it addresses a common problem, little girls wanting long hair but not wanting to brush it, in a fun and lighthearted way. I loved that the girl came to the conclusion to brush her hair on her own and the parents were barely in the book.
