Review
"The duo responsible for The Wolves in the Walls (2003) return with another chaotic picture book popping with bright collage and multimedia imagery....[D]elightful and glib." Booklist
Review
"Appropriately crazy art design places masses of Photoshopped hair swirling wildly around Gaiman's rhymed defense of unshorn locks." Kirkus Reviews

Gaiman, author of the Newbery Medal-winning The Graveyard Book, and illustrator McKean team up once again for this whimsical, witty rhyming tale of a young girl who tries to tame the unruly mane of her friend. Full color.
Synopsis
In my hair
Gorillas leap,
Tigers stalk,
And ground sloths sleep.
Prides of lions
Make their lair
Somewhere in my crazy hair.
