Review
`The looping rhymes are brought to life by creative partner Dave McKean - to call him "the illustrator" would be doing him a disservice' --The Children's Bookseller
`An unusual picture book that pays testament to the power of the imagination'
--The Bookseller
`Electrifying and very funny . . . a hymn to the unexpected . . . more thrilling than threatening . . . Parents will enjoy reading it aloud at bedtimes, bathtimes or before those dreaded preschool visits to the hairdresser at the end of the school holidays'
--Saturday Times
`Crazy Hair is a fantastical feast!'
--TBK Magazine
`Luminous pictures that perfectly match the sing-song rhyming . . . Fabulous stuff'
--Read Me, Scholastic Magazines
`Dave Mckean works his magic on Neil Gaiman's glossy, flowing rhyme . . . through attention to detail, pictorial inventiveness, dramatic composition, and absolute imaginative conviction, he conveys the wonder, scary delight and sheer awe of its possibility. Individual spreads are breathtaking; the whole book is astonishing: vibrant, funny, mysterious and inspiring'
--Books for Keeps
`There are few picturebook-makers as cool as Dave McKean and Neil Gaiman, and their latest collaboration is wild . . . distortions and magnifications make the images strange and dark, rivaling the text for energy and verve'
--The Times --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

My 2.5yr old daughter absolutely loves this book - she gets very animated when we read it, and we can read it to her in a way that we can visibly see encourages her imagination. As with 'Where the Wild Things are' and 'the Cat in the Hat', she is now using excerpts from the book when describing everyday situations so it must be doing something right.

Love this book. Is just so different to other childrens' books and the illustrations are fantastic.
Is recommended for 4 years plus but my 2 year old twins love it and shout 'Crazy Hair' every time we get to the end of the lines.

My children weren't sure what they thought about the book to begin with (4 and 5 year olds) but they get the mad part about it now and love it.
