"Rapunzel's Amazing Hair" - Kiki Thorpe

Disney - yes. Capitalizing on their target audience - yes. But the artwork! Think vintage Golden Book Cinderella! Simple, beautiful, artistic, and amazingly detailed. Chameleon in every picture.

So she's got the long hair. What good is it? This book is a list (in rhyme) of many things Rapunzel can do with her hair. Reminds me why I've always wanted long hair.

Super Hair-O and the Barber of Doom - John Rocco

My goodness! I read dozens of picture books a week but I don't have time to post them all. However, I didn't expect to go the whole month without posting again. Well here's one that I thought was terrific:

Rocco has the craziest hair going on! He and his friends get their superpowers from their hair. But when Rocco is taken to the barber, how will he escape its evil clutches?! When he returns to school disgraced (with a haircut), he faces his friends only find they have also been sheared. When a teddy bear is in trouble, Rocco and his friends rise to the occasion and the save the day, learning their superpowers don't come from their hair but from within.

This was such a cute story! My favorite character was, of course, the kid who says "dude" to everything.
