Summary: The Funniest Book
Review: I think that this is the coolest book. Stephanie goes to school everyday with a different hair style and the next day everyone copies her. I love this book and I think the ending is so hilarious.

Review: My 7 & 5 yr old girls thought this book was very funny and could relate to Stephanie's frustration with all the copycats. Stephanie's different ponytail styles added to the fun since we tried them all once we were done reading (and laughing).

Summary: Stephanie's Ponytail
Review: Stephanie decides to be unique and wear her hair in a ponytail to school. Everyone ridicules her, but then wear their hair the same as Stephanie the next day. This frustrates Stephanie so the next day she wears a different type of ponytail. The copying continues, bringing Stephanie's frustration to an all time high. Finally she blurts out that she will "shave her head!" Wanting to be like Stephanie, the students, principal, teachers, and animals all shave their heads only to find Stephanie enter school with a 'nice ponytail coming out the back'.
Robert Munsch, the author, includes a conflict between Stephanie and her peers, keeping the audience curious as to what will happen next.
The writing style allows the reader to use great expression and includes the audience with the repetitive text.
Michael Martchenko, the illustrator, uses expressive pictures to give the story added detail. The audience is laughing before they hear the words on the page.
When I read this book to my class, they beg for it again and again!

Summary: I never tire of reading it & still laugh every time I do!
Review: Stephanie's ponytail is a wonderful story to read aloud to children. It provides for a humorous way to teach about copying what other people do. I am a second grade teacher and have put multiple copies in our class library for the children to read themselves. Because they have heard me read it, and because of the repitition it contains, even my lower readers are able to enjoy it and feel some success at the same time. It has become a class favorite!

Review: Stephanies Ponytail is an easy reading, fun and entertaining book. It is a story about Stephanie, her family, her teacher and her classmates. She is the fashion leader of her class and all of the other kids copy her. She gets tired of the kids copying her hair styles, so she has a surprise for them at the end of the book.
