Blue Hair Day

The book I am currently reading is called Blue Hair Day and is written by the author James Moloney. I chose this book because the images on the cover show an old lady laughing and there are also two others who are smiling and I thought it would be humorous to read. 

This story is set in a house. The key characters are Sonya and Margo. One entertaining part of the story is when the girls have their mother and grandmother visit. Margo and Sonya were at home baking a cake but arguing with each other about the icing to put on top. Their grandmother suggested that blue would be a good choice. After this their grandmother fell asleep. The two girls acted mischievously and used the blue food colouring to dye their grandmother’s hair because it was incredibly grey.  When their grandmother woke up she wanted to brush her hair but they would not let her because their mother was cranky.  They told her to get in the car so they could take her to the hairdresser. When they got to the hairdresser everyone there was giggling at her. The hairdresser said that the food colouring would not come out so they would need to dye it a different colour. 

This book is great for kids 10 and under because it is easy to read and also to understand. JM
