Synopsis
The Dirtiest Hair in the World is a Mom s Choice Awards® Gold Recipient!
Claire has long, beautiful hair. She also has a mind of her own. And one day she decides she will not wash her hair. At first, her hair is not so bad. But as the weeks go by, tangles grow to brambles.
Luckily, even a very stubborn girl can change her mind. When Claire announces, 'All right, I'll wash my hair!'; that's when the fun begins. You won't believe what crawls, walks, falls, and flies out of Claire's hair.
Children of all ages will enjoy this vividly illustrated rhyming tale of a girl who learns her lesson...or does she?

About the Author
Author Bob McAllen has spent most of his adult life freelancing in L.A. as an architect/artist/illustrator/teacher/musician. This is his first children's book with long-time friend and colleagueTom McClure. Tom started drawing at the age of three months and has drawn everything in the world at least twice. His resume in art, architecture, illustration and design is far too extensive to list here. He still draws and paints when he's not flying his plane over the Cascade Range near Seattle.
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3—In this rhyming tale of a strong-willed girl with an aversion to soap and water, the hygiene lesson takes a backseat to tall-tale hyperbole. When Claire's beautiful auburn hair gets dirty, she refuses to wash it. The weeks pass and her tangles become brambles, imprisoning her in her room. Health officials arrive in full hazardous-materials gear and mark her room a toxic zone. When the girl agrees to shampoo her locks, her parents get to work with heavy-duty cleaners and clippers. "And so,/Of course,/They found the horse,/The pizza/And the cow,/The buffalo,/The Buick,/The bird's nest/And the plough—" and other, even more improbable things. McClure's illustrations expand the text with large images of objects only partially shown. A full page of critters alive in the protagonist's hair definitely develops the gross-out factor and will appeal to some children. Unfortunately, the digitally created illustrations seem out of focus, motley, and indistinct. Claire's face, stretched taut by her hair as she tries to escape her room, is scary. An additional or supplemental purchase.—Mary Jean Smith, Southside Elementary School, Lebanon, TN
