"Ponytails and braids! Ponytails and braids! I don't see anything but ponytails and braids! This class needs some fashion. This class needs some fun. I'll find a hairdo to impress everyone." Annabelle doesn't want the same boring hairstyle that all the other girls have. When she spies a picture of her grandma, she has the perfect idea: a big bouffant! But how can she make her style stand up? And will her classmates really be impressed with her daring `do?
The illustrations in this book are whimsical and colorful. I especially liked noticing the shadows on the page. I loved the story. It provides the reader with a female protagonist who walks to the beat of a different drum. A great book for the first days of school, to encourage individualism.
This one earns a #1 and a place in the discussion at the committee meetings for me!.
