Don't You Dare Brush My Hair

This book is a funny, tactile picture book aimed at very young children. The narrative focuses on a little girl Clare who loves her hair but refuses to brush it. She stuffs all kinds of things in her hair — cats, snacks, you name it — and the story is full of humorous situations around her un-brushed, wild hair.

One of the standout features is the “hairy fringe” on the cover, which invites touch and play, making it a “touch‐and‐feel” book.
So it’s both a story about messy hair and reluctance to tidy up, and also a sensory item for toddlers.
