Description

Max and the Haircut is about Max going with Mum for his very first haircut, but he doesn't like Wendy's Hairdressing Salon. It's too bright and noisy. And then there's the water spray, the uncomfortable cloth round his shoulders, and the spiky hair clips. Before Wendy can start snipping, Max shouts, 'STOP!'

This debut picture book explores the universal experience of a first haircut with sensitivity and beautiful, glowing pictures.
