Dave's Haircut

By Damon Burnard

Book Overview

The reverse Mohawk. The buzz cut. The pompadour. Or-worst of all-the bowl. These are just some of the dreaded 'dos in the pages of this funny, easy-to-read story, told in pictures and cartoon bubbles, about one boy's haircut hysteria. Dave would do anything rather than submit to the possibility of a (gulp) Bad Haircut. But after taking matters-and scissors-into his own hands, he lands himself back in the barber's chair. Will the resulting haircut be hot . . . or not? This hilarious and hip early reader, with its Cartoon Network sensibility and a "hairy tale" ending, will have kids guffawing all the way to the barbershop.

Actually Kinda Cute -- a review of Dave's Haircut

This book is kind of cute, but no way I would classify it as being for a four year old. At least not mine. This book mentions bullying (by a guy named Badazz), name calling ("dumbo" so it's not too bad), cigarettes! and girlfriends. Which is my limited experience (my two are almost 4 and 6) says that it would be better for say 9 year olds and older. Four Stars. The School Library Journal reviewer does a good job of outlining the story. The artwork is cute and the story *is* funny. I ACTUALLY read it to my two children but had to heavily augment the text to bring it in-line with strict household standards.
