Cute Artwork, The Birdie series is for the fashion forward
By aaa-Pam
This is our first BIRDIES book and I have to say that it's really cute.The story is, as you would expect, about hair and hairstyles, and I think it would appeal to fans of Fancy Nancy and Pinkalicious. The artwork is very appealing, and the point that sometimes we can't look exactly like someone else, but that that is okay, is age appropriate.My favorite parts were Birdie dressed up and looking like like Farrah with flippy hair, and Audrey Hepburn with a classic chignon. My sample audience seemed to focus on the strawberry pancakes. But it's all good.SUMMARYThanks to the publisher for introducing me to this series. BIRDIES BIG-GIRL HAIR is a fun book to share. It could be used to discuss what a visit to a salon is like, and even how to do research --Birdie looks through magazines and books to find ideas. When Birdies' hair gets messed up, I like that her mom explains that that's okay. That she is still beautiful.--from library

By Ralph A. Spinelli
I buy these books for my granddaughter, who is just three years old. Her parents have been reading to her since the very beginning. She is engaged in her reading sessions and anticipates them daily. She is showing the ability to read on her own now. amazon and the children's books they offer are the most wonderful grandparent tool I have. I never wonder what to get for my favorite child--it's always a book or two. When my own children (her father and uncle) were small and it was time for discipline, theirs was they were not allowed to read at bedtime. They considered that serious punishment. My granddaughter will be well informed and diverse in her thinking because of her early interest in reading. Thank you amazon. Ralph Spinelli

BAD HAIR DAY
By Barbara Ann Mojica
This book is part of a series of books featuring a preschooler named Birdie who is really fashion conscious. The other books in the series deal with dresses and shoes. In this book Birdie and her mom decide that Birdie's hair is becoming unmanageable; she needs a new hairdo. Mom promises to take her to the salon and encourages Birdie to look through magazines to find the just the right hairstyle. Birdie is frustrated; she even asks the opinions of all her friends. Finally, she finds her mom's yearbook and discovers just the right hairstyle. She goes to the salon and is pleased with the results until she realizes that the hairstyle does not make the person.Personally, I prefer books with strong female characters and a clear story line. This is a cute book for young children who are already fashion conscious. The artwork is well done for the toddler and preschool audience; illustrations are over sized and colorful. Little girls who like Barbie dolls and princesses will love this book.
