Overview

Children easily relate to the predicament of having a severe haircut.  Omar refuses to take off his cap until he sees that his teacher has reason to be self conscious too.  This humorous twist validates the child and shows the importance of role models for young children.  The repetitive text pattern is matched with clear illustrations that support the reader in identifying the speaker on each page.

 

 

Purpose

This story can be used to encourage discussion about the children’s own experiences of wearing caps and having haircuts they dislike.  The written conventions of speech can be taught through the dialogue-based text.
