I Won't Comb My Hair!


By: Annette Langen & Illustrated by: Frauke Bahr, 24 pp


First published in Switzerland under the title Carlotta.
Ever had or seen a troublesome child that does not want to do something they are told? Well, Tanya doesn't want to do something all the time, but especially comb her hair!
Her hair is all tangled and full of knots, yet she still refuses to comb her hair. Then one day, Tanya's hair has a couple of birds come into her hair and builds a nest. She enjoys this for along time especially after there are five chicks that hatch in the nest. She does all she can to help them out until one day when she bends over to pick up a worm for the birds, they almost tumble out. So for awhile she doesn't do anything.
One night she begins to hear other noises other than just the birds in her hair. All of a sudden she decides there is only one way to get the rest of the noises out of her hair & that is by combing her hair!
From then on, she wants to comb her hair twice a day and even fix her hair differently all the time.
