Customer Reviews

OH MY HAIR!

This kid gets a terrible hair cut and cannot face school with it. Aliens come and take him to the great barber Moog Moog. He tries to fix it but ends up making it worse. Not wanting to hurt his feelings, the boy tells a lie about how it really does look much better. Overall things work out despite the boys horrific hair.

Not all haircuts end up bad

This is a very good book. It has everything that it needs to keep a young reader interested. Elmo has a very great imagination. I think that kids that read this book will like that. Everything starts with a bad haircut, but it all turns out pretty good. There are some very unexpected things that happen. It is a very fun book to read. The pictures also are very good in helping you really imagine the story. I would defnitely recommend this story to all kids. That is why I gave this book 5 stars.

Every bad hair day has its silver lining

For Elmo, not much can brighten the prospect of starting school with a horrible hair cut, so he pulls on a stocking cap and hunkers down in front of the last-night-of-summer-space-monster-movie. The rest of us luck out though, when some fellow green-headed aliens drop in for a drink and take Elmo off in search of the most famous barber in the galaxy. This charming book has a witty text and beautiful illustrations. Such a pity it's out of print!
