The Hair Book

Illustrated by Andrew Joyner
Look inside
An easy reader about hair—and all the things you can do with it!

This super-simple, rhymed riff features a charming cast of human and animal characters sporting all kinds of hair—short, long, curly, straight, dark, fair, braided, tied, washed, dyed—you name it! Written for children learning to read on their own, it's filled with words and concepts kids encounter every day. Perfect for reading aloud or reading alone, it's also great for starting discussions about which kinds of animals have hair and which do not. With bright, energetic artwork by Andrew Joyner, this is the kind of fun, easy reader that is hard for kids to put down!

Bright and Early Books are perfect for beginning beginner readers! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1968 with The Foot Book, Bright and Early Books use fewer and easier words than Beginner Books. Readers just starting to recognize words and sound out letters will love these short books with colorful illustrations.
ANDREW JOYNER is the illustrator and author of numerous children's books, including the #1 New York Times bestseller Dr. Seuss's The Horse Museum, The Pink Hat, Stand Up! Speak Up!, The Hair Book by Graham Tether, Duck and Hippo in the Rainstorm by Jonathan London, and The Terrible Plop by Ursula Dubosarsky. He also wrote and illustrated the Boris chapter book series about an adventure-seeking warthog. His books are now published in more than twenty-five countries. He lives with his wife and children on the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia. Visit him on the Web at andrewjoyner.com.au. View titles by Andrew Joyner
