Ella Kazoo Will Not Brush Her Hair introduces a spirited little girl named Ella Kazoo, who absolutely refuses to brush her hair. She hides in the cupboard and under the stair, she roars at her mum like a big growly bear, she whines and she moans and she howls in despair. But without a doubt, Ella Kazoo will not brush her hair!

Ella Kazoo will do anything to avoid having her hair brushed, leaving her poor mother beside herself with frustration as she watches Ella's hair get more and more out of control. But what happens when Ella's hair develops a mind of its own? Join Ella in this delightful tale told in rollicking verse, exploring how a girl who's got just what it takes can change a really bad hair day into a happy situation for all.

Beautifully illustrated and written with wonderful rhyme and rhythm, this story is a joy for parents to read and a treat for children to listen to. It's ideal for early readers and full of fun.
