New Semi-Regular Feature: Adult-Friendly Children’s Books! ‘Crazy Hair’ Is A Must Add To Your Library!

A brief explanation of the new Adult-Friendly Children’s Book feature: No doubt everyone loves Dr. Seuss, but there’s only so much Green Eggs and Ham that one adult can mentally consume. Here I will highlight the children’s books that I feel are just as note-worthy. And maybe just a bit more off the beaten path…

crazy-hair It’s no secret that I hate Neil Gaiman. He continuously pumps out great work, and I hate him for it. ‘Crazy Hair‘ is another such work. I brought it home to my nearly three year old, and she made me read it. Twice. This was after I read it to myself a couple of times.

Thanks again, Mr. Gaiman.

I hate you.

‘Crazy Hair‘ is a wonderfuly rhyming tale that the entire family will enjoy.

Here’s an excerpt from inside the dust jacket:

“In my hair

Gorillas leap,

Tigers stalk,

And ground sloths sleep.

Prides of lions make their lair

Somewhere in my crazy hair.”

This book is full of whimsy, like Gaiman‘s other children’s offerings, ‘The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish‘ and ‘The Wolves In The Walls‘.

And like much of Gaiman’s work, he has once again teamed up with Dave McKean, whose frantic artwork perfectly compliments Gaiman’s words as if the book was created by one creator.

‘Crazy Hair‘ can go on your shelf next to any other Seuss or Sendak classic that you and your kids will want to enjoy again and again!
