Opening sentence
Should have stayed tucked up in my bed…
Who hasn’t woken up with bad hair?

This quirky book is all about bad hair and how to fix it. It is a rendition of a Tik Tok song and while I wanted to sing along, you feel the need to sing it not read it, I couldn’t find the rhythm. So obviously I’m not the target audience and I could easily listen to it by scanning the barcode on the back. It is very catchy with its repeated chorus and very engaging with its bright and bold illustrations.

This is sure to be a hit with younger readers who can join in and sing and dance along.
