review 1: This is about the cutest story I've ever read. The title just starts the story about a little girl who has the incredible fortune of being able to confidently say that she does things her way which leads to some interesting developments. Not brushing her hair is the reason that she befriends a mouse with a suitcase full of fairy tales. Hair condos are the latest craze and baths become a thing of the past. The kids had a real hoot with this one lol.
review 2: What happens when a young girl doesn't brush her hair for days and proclaims--"That's just my way?" Well, if it were my mom she'd say, "It'll grow rats" because somehow early 20th century Taiwanese in the rural country side still believe in spontaneous generation, as if Louis Pasteur never existed. Here's ... morean amusing tale on the very subject. Not brushing your hair for days can breed rats. And guess what? They even tell knock-knock jokes. They set up secret passage ways, cheese cellars and moats in her tussels of dirty hair. Finally the girl can't sleep, the knock-knock jokes get old and her teacher put her foot down and says she can only have one friend at naptime. The mice know they have to leave so they sing a mournful song, indicating they will be inhabiting a new head very soon. Beautiful air-brushed pictures and funny storyline will keep kids entertained. less
