Details:

It's time for Birdie's very first haircut, and the miniature fashionista yearns for more than just a simple trim. Should she choose an updo, a perm, or a ballerina bun? She looks through pictures, books, lots of magazines - even Mommy's yearbook - to find the best new look, and she and Mommy head to the salon. Her haircut looks fantastic, but begins to sag later on at the playground... because Birdie doesn't just love fashion - she likes to run and jump and play! In the end, Mommy reminds her that the most perfect Birdie look is the one that lets her be herself. Sujean Rim's beautiful watercolor and fabric collages will have fashionistas of every age giggling as she showcases Birdie with iconic hairstyles from decades past. Another delightful adventure in the Birdie series that offers a playful balance of fashion, fun, and heart! From School Library Journal K-Gr 2—Birdie's days of living with unruly hair are coming to an end. When her mom suggests a new hairstyle, she turns to her friends and mom's fashion magazines for advice. Spikes, bobs, and chignons don't feel right, though, and the cut she receives at the salon leaves her feeling only temporarily happy. When her new coif is flattened by the rain, Birdie is sad. "'Mommy,' she cries, 'It doesn't look like yours anymore.'" Little girls who like to mimic their mothers will be thankful to hear the reassuring words Birdie receives about individuality and self-acceptance. Rim's (Birdie's Big-Girl Dress, Birdie's Big-Girl Shoes) collage illustrations add interesting patterns and texture to the page. Share this book with young Fancy Nancy and Pinkalicious fans.—Tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake Public Library, AB, Canada From Booklist Pint-size fashionista Birdie is back, and this time she’s all about her hair. Should she get it cut in feathers or go for a stylish chignon? While her young audience might not get the references, grown-ups will enjoy Birdie’s imagination as she channels everyone from Farrah Fawcett to Princess Leia (with her cinnamon roll–style buns). This is fluffy fun that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The art, which uses pattern and collage to nice effect, is fresh and mod and thankfully shies away from an overuse of pink—Rim knows girlishness needn’t rely on one color alone, or sparkles, to be appealing. A nice addition to collections devoted to tresses. Preschool-Grade 2. --Karen Cruze
