My niece and nephew were both entertained by Zoe Fleefenbacher's hair. It did lots of cool stuff. It made her unique and interesting. It made school an adventure in mayhem and in learning. I think my fine-haired niece dreams of hair like Zoe's, but my nephew and I have a lot of hair that has a mind of its own. I've learned that pixie cuts keep the madness in check (crew cuts do it for the boy, but he hates them). So while my niece thought wistfully about Zoe's amazing mane, the boy and I embraced the sentiment behind Anderson's story. Plentiful hair can take on a life of its own. Wouldn't it be great if that unruly hair could be harnessed for the powers of good? Zoe's hair is out of control in this fun, silly book. Because this book talks about following rules, it would be a great tool to teach management during the first days of school. Students will love this wacky story and beautiful illustrations. I loved this book for its creative story line and would also use this as a journal prompt. In their creative writing journals, students could write about the weird things their own hair does. Teachers could also use this book for connection making because students will most likely be able to relate to Zoe's problem of getting into trouble during school.
I love this book! I was drawn to it of course by the illustrations but the story was just as good.

It creeped me out that this girl's hair could move objects and seemed to have a mind of its own.

A great, fun book... especially when your little one's name is Zoe.
