Wild Hair Neil Gaiman

Wild Hair by Neil Gaiman is absolutely delightful. All the more so because he is known for pretty wild hair! It could be (probably is) his!! This is a whimsical children's book with one sentence to a page and not that many pages. Funny, thoughtful, I have to go back and reread it to think, why did he say that or include that. I am positive there are alot of hidden references. Like the Pixar movies, two levels to be enjoyed by kids of all ages. The illustrations are great- perfect for the setting, depicting the 'action'.

Neil Gaiman

This week's New Yorker has a great article on Neil Gaimen. CHECK it out! I recommended reading his biography last year (huge 800 pages that I got on Kindle, with wonderful commentary on most of his books). Latest comments and tweets even. The Rochester Public Library has this, as they have purchased most of his novels, comics, dvds, etc. And while you are at it, yes, revisit the dvds of Star Dust, Coraline. He has another in the making (Staturesque) just recently filmed.
