How Emily Blair Got Her Fabulous Hair

Rating:
Summary: Venus Power for the Young
Review: As a children's librarian, I can't read all the books out there. This book was brought to my attention by a young patron whose name is Emily. It is one of her favorites and after including it in several programs, I found that all the girls who heard it loved it, too. Even the youngest of my listeners was fascinated by Emily's quest for fabulous hair and delighted by all the illustrations. They 'oohhed and aahed' over all the lavish hair styles. I guess the freedom of personal expression and the celebration of female beauty are still strong positive messages for girls. Though some femiminsts might disagree, my young friends declare that Emily Blair and her Fabulous Hair are beyond compare!
