I received a free digital ARC from Capstone Young Readers through NetGalley (4/1/14)

This is a beautifully illustrated rhyming tale about Clara and her crazy curls. Even though Clara is a small girl, her hair makes a big impact on people. Her hair is so large that she can store her school supplies in it. She dreams of having the largest hair in the world. When she comes across some hair growing cream, she goes a little overboard, and she gets her wish. Sometimes getting what you wish for doesn't turn out as great as you imagine, as is the case with Clara.
I am a sucker for rhyming tales. I think I will be able to read this one to older preschoolers for story time. It is a bit long for younger ones. There are a couple of rhymes that seem forced or don't quite work in this one, but the overall story is cute and the rhymes are mostly pretty great. The illustrations are adorable, in colors and a style that I really love. Plain and simple, this is a cute rhyming story with a good lesson.
