Aiden Allen's hair is ruining his life. From the time he gets up in the morning until the middle of the afternoon, Aiden's hair wreaks havoc on his family, friends and classmates. When Aiden finally finds out what had made his hair so angry, it is an easy fix. This book is hilarious, well illustrated and fun for kids, especially any with unruly hair. I recommend this book to any child or their family who has issues with their hair and loves to laugh. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via netgalley. ( )

Aiden Allen was a grubby kid. His clothing was wrinkled, his shoes were untied, and his hair - his hair was a mess! Then one day Aiden found that his hair had simply decided to not cooperate, going out of its way to be disruptive, and ruin his day. With hair that spontaneously formed into various embarrassing shapes, and took violent action, what was a kid to do? Negotiate, of course, and try to put an end to his personal hair-pocalypse...

An amusing picture-book examination of the unhygienic habits of young children, Hair-Pocalypse pairs an entertaining, over-the-top story of a young boy and the day he and his hair came into conflict, with colorful, cartoon-style artwork that captures the zany humor of the tale. Children who enjoy naughty stories will appreciate Aiden Allen's hair and its misdeeds, and will be led by the resolution of the story to a better understanding of the importance of washing up, at the end of the day. Recommended to anyone looking for entertaining new picture-book adventures and/or children's stories about the importance of cleanliness. ( )
