Taken to a hair salon by his mother, the little boy is the only one not startled by the sudden appearance of endangered animals tumbling from his overgrown, mop of hair!

This modern fairytale introduces numbers, colours, and some lesser-known animals to the reader, while beautiful illustrations hide educational secrets and excite imagination.

Whether you are looking for numbers or creative bloopers many pages contain Visual Puzzles. When you believe you’ve discovered them all, you can check the answers at the Members’ part of the website.

For example, on the Peary Caribou page, can you find all the twos? (See the visual puzzles example below.)

The story is written in verse; the rhythm can comfort a baby or a young child, making it a bed-time favourite.
