So to summarise, this book is a perfectly-sized enchantment, with approximately a 6 to 7 minute read time, which is just about right for a bedtime. And it's such a simple idea too, giving some relief to the child that has to have pints of de-tangler spritzed into her hair every morning and it works on the same level as stories about the Tooth Fairy. I can't help but recommend it to you because we really do love it.
For further reading and as mentioned above, we do rather enjoy a rhyming story – I've mentioned it before, but we adore [[Tyrannosaurus Drip by Julia Donaldson]] and pretty much any Winnie the Witch adventure, though the latest [[Winnie Under the Sea by Valerie Thomas and Korky Paul|Winnie Under the Sea]] or [[The Misadventures of Winnie the Witch by Laura Owen and Korky Paul]] are terrific fun.
We also have a huge squishy soft spot for [[The Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr]] as my daughter reminded me just the other day that even though it's dark outside we can still go to the café if a Tiger comes and eats all of our food.
