Told in rhyme, Ella Kazoo’s hair is described in many terms: hair, locks, mane, mop, curls, frizz, and tresses as it continues to grow longer and wilder. As her hair grows, more and more items become entangled within it. The ink and watercolor illustrations by Jennifer Plecas humorously depict Ella’s objections to brushing her hair and the eventual outcome. At her wits end, Ella’s mother takes her to the hairdresser to find a style with which she can live.
“All due to a haircut, quite simple and snappy,
both mother and daughter are blissfully happy.”
