Overview / 简介: |
"In my hair
Gorillas leap,
Tigers stalk,
And ground sloths sleep.
Prides of lions
Make their lair
Somewhere in my crazy hair."

| The duo responsible for The Wolves in the Walls (2003) return with another chaotic picture book popping with bright collage and multimedia imagery. A man takes umbrage with a young girl ogling his outrageous hairdo, and tells her in a series of increasingly ridiculous rhymes all the things that can be found in the stupendous swaths swirling upon his head (“Hunters send in expeditions, / Radio back their positions / Still, we’ve lost a dozen there / Lost inside my crazy hair.”) Each page is a veritable feast for the eyes, with frazzled clumps of hair competing for attention with outlandish elements—carousels, pirate ships, blue octopi, comb-eating bears—incorporated into the frenzied mix. There’s something a little unsettling and unhinged about the imagery, just on the safe side of nightmarish; but the text, for the most part, is delightful and glib. The whole thing comes off as a little self-gratifying on the creators’ parts, but there is no doubting the dazzling creativity on display. Perhaps best recommended for children with an adventurous artistic sensibility. Preschool-Grade 3. --Ian Chipman |

"Okay, I think my hair would get dirty if birds nested in it. Oh my gosh, there are lions in there? This is getting hilarious! And now she is getting crazy hair! I like it when they say, `Stuck inside my crazy hair!' Mom, read it again!"
Parent's Note:
Expect a whole lot of zany wackiness from the author/illustrator pair who also wrote "Coraline." Grayce was riveted by the story and kept saying, "Oh, my gosh, this is hilarious!" "Crazy Hair" is, indeed, hilarious; but more than that, it is imaginative and fun and just slightly creepy (in a good way). As a parent, I love reading this book because the character is one of a kind. It's the best of what a children's book should be - full of adventure and exploration and creativity, with just a little bit of "hair-raising" wonder to go along with it. This book is her hand's-down favorite right now and I would buy it in hard cover. "Crazy Hair" by Neil Gaiman will be a permanent book in our collection. |
