The Girl Who Wouldn't Brush Her Hair by Kate Bernheimer, illustrated by Jake Parker, is a hilarious, over-the-top story perfect for any little girl who doesn't like to comb out her tresses.

What happens when our heroine neglects her long tresses? Well, one day a mouse comes to live in a particularly tangled lock. Soon after, more mice move in, and the girl's unruly mop is transformed into a marvellous mouse palace complete with secret passageways and a cheese cellar! But as the girl comes to find out, living with more than a hundred mice atop your head isn't always easy...

"This tale will send kids the message that they must take care of their tresses." - Booklist

"There are parents who will weep with joy at the prospect of a book that may encourage little Susie or Sam to finally brush that mane." - The Bulletin
