Medusa refuses to care for her hair, her long locks getting knottier and dirtier with each passing page. Her hair rebellion elicits frozen expressions of shock from her family, but nothing will convince Medusa to brush. Only her hairdresser approaches Medusa with bravery and a blade, successfully solving the problem . . . with a short haircut! All are pleased with this drastic yet adorable solution. Leslie Patricellis depictions of this physical comedy bring a lively visual narrative to Joan Holubs expertly focused text. Includes a summary of the original Medusas Wild Hair myth at the end.
