Here I will highlight the children&#8217;s books that I feel are just as note-worthy. And maybe just a bit more off the beaten path&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em><br />
</em><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-787" title="crazy-hair" src="http://www.howefitz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/crazy-hair.jpg" alt="crazy-hair" width="240" height="238" />It&#8217;s no secret that <a href="http://www.howefitz.com/blog/why-i-hate-neil-gaiman/">I hate Neil Gaiman</a>. He continuously pumps out great work, and I hate him for it. &#8216;<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/howeblog-20/detail/0060579080">Crazy Hair</a>&#8216; 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.</p>
<p>Thanks again, Mr. Gaiman.</p>
<p>I hate you.</p>
<p>&#8216;<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/howeblog-20/detail/0060579080">Crazy Hair</a>&#8216; is a wonderfuly rhyming tale that the entire family will enjoy.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an excerpt from inside the dust jacket:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;In my hair</p>
<p>Gorillas leap,</p>
<p>Tigers stalk,</p>
<p>And ground sloths sleep.</p>
<p>Prides of lions make their lair</p>
<p>Somewhere in my crazy hair.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>This book is full of whimsy, like <a href="http://mousecircus.com/">Gaiman</a>&#8216;s other children&#8217;s offerings, &#8216;<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/howeblog-20/detail/0060587032">The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish</a>&#8216; and &#8216;<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/howeblog-20/detail/0380810956">The Wolves In The Walls</a>&#8216;.</p>
<p>And like much of Gaiman&#8217;s work, he has once again teamed up with <a href="http://www.mckean-art.co.uk/">Dave McKean</a>, whose frantic artwork perfectly compliments Gaiman&#8217;s words as if the book was created by one creator.</p>
<p>&#8216;<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/howeblog-20/detail/0060579080">Crazy Hair</a>&#8216; can go on your shelf next to any other <a id="aptureLink_ZSqaV16iah" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr.%20Seuss">Seuss</a> or <a id="aptureLink_cXu4Lj7dle" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where%20the%20Wild%20Things%20Are">Sendak</a> classic that you and your kids will want to enjoy again and again!</p>
