There Was a Little Girl, She Had a Little Curl in SLJ
There Was a Little Girl, She Had a Little Curl, by Harriet Ziefert, illus. by Elliot Kreloff
The classic rhyme is expanded into a story of Isabel, a precocious preschooler who has a mop of bright red curls. One day, after struggling to brush and comb her tangled locks, she gives herself a haircut. After snipping off one curl and then another, she is left with a motley head of hair. Finally, a visit to the beauty shop repairs the damage, and now Isabel is back to being a little girl who once "had a little curl, right in the middle of [her] forehead." Bright, childlike cartoon drawings capture the mischievous child and her tolerant but wise parents. Many families will relate to this title.
