Harriet's Hair brings Smiles

An absolutly great book! The text is lyrical making it easy to read over and over again. The illustrations are colorful and fun. With each reading, your child (and you) will notice more fantastic details. The antics are zany, but Harriet's feelings are real and ones we can all relate to. This book will quickly become a family favorite!

Irresistible Children's Story!

A delightful story, complete with detail-rich, amazingly fun illustrations, makes this book a sure hit with children, and their parents. I can't wait for more releases from Ms. Stewart!

Hair-larous Locks

Every child with hair that won't behave or who has siblings that are too helpful, will delight in reading the trials put upon Harriet by her brother and sister all because of a wayward curl! The vocabulary is age appropriate and the illustrations are delightful.

Harriet's a Hoot!

Kindergarten to fifth graders enjoyed this wild tale. I am an elementary school librarian and my students loved this story and its zany illustrations. They couldn't wait to see what Harriet's creative siblings had in store for her on every page. They also loved watching the dog's and cat's antics throughout the book. As we say in Texas..."This book is a hoot!"

One Delightful Curl!

Harriet's Horrible Hair Day is a delightful combination of sibling misadventures and learning to appreciate one's own special traits. Between the outrageously creative solutions Harriet's sister and brother suggest for taming her curls, and the wild antics of their cat and dog, each page is a surprise. Michael White's illustrations enhance Dawn Stewart's captivating tale, and I was in a state of "Oh, no, what next! " throughout the book. I can't wait to read this over and over to my new, curly-haired granddaughter.
