From shaggy coats to sleek scales, discover the fascinating and funny ways animals care for their fur, hair, and feathers!

We all know that kids need regular haircuts and trips to the barber or salon to keep their hair neat, but how does the rest of the animal kingdom handle a bad hair day? In this delightful and educational volume by reading specialist Harriet Ziefert, young readers will take a wild trip around the globe to discover that managing a coat looks very different depending on the creature.

Through charming, expressive illustrations by Emily Bolam, children will explore the unique grooming habits of animals large and small:

• Yaks don't visit a barber—their thick, shaggy undercoats naturally shed in the spring, and humans comb it out to spin into cozy yarn.
• Horses skip the salon but get a helping hand from grooms who brush their coats, clip their hooves, and trim their manes.
• Sheep get a major springtime makeover, getting sheared all over so they can stay cool for the summer.
• Poodles get the ultimate spa treatment, visiting professional groomers to get washed, brushed, and clipped into stylish cuts.

From lions showing off their regal manes to creatures that shed their coats entirely, Does a Yak Get a Haircut? turns animal biology into an engaging, laugh-out-loud learning experience. Complete with a helpful parent guide and interactive critical thinking activities, this book is the perfect read-aloud to connect a child's own grooming routines with the wonders of the natural world.

Perfect for curious toddlers, preschoolers, and early readers who are gearing up for their next haircut!
