BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: MANY
Fia refuses to brush her hair. It is full of leaves and ribbons and her mother calls it a tangle-knot. Fia thinks it is perfect this way, and a bird has built a nest in her hair and layed three colored eggs. Her mother is embarrassed but Fia is proud and uses it for show and tell. When the birds hatch, she helps feed them. Soon the mama bird and the babies fly away.
What will Fia do with her tangle-not hair now?
Ellsworth has written a whimsical story that many of us can relate too. I also liked the theme that even when parents don't agree with what you are doing, they still love you. Tempest's illustrations delightfully tell the story.
