Overview

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
This hilarious tale of ponytail copycats ends with a surprise twist. As usual, Munsch spins fun and revelations into this delightful story. Stephanie proves to be a strong-willed girl who knows what she likes. She has the last laugh on her schoolmates. The vivid watercolor illustrations bring Stephanie's world to life.
School Library Journal
Gr 1-3-"Ugly, ugly, very ugly," decrees the class when Stephanie arrives in school with a ponytail. But the next day, all the girls have ponytails, too. Dismayed and disgusted by these copycats, Stephanie has her Mom move her ponytail to one side with the same results. After wearing it top and front as well, Stephanie confronts the class with her final act of defiance-she announces that she's going to shave her head! Next day, her teacher and classmates are bald as billiard balls and Stephanie? Why, she's chased from the classroom with her very ordinary ponytail flying out behind her. Munsch lampoons the slavish conformity of kids while applauding Stephanie's courage and audacity in this thinly disguised paean to individualism. The cumulative text and progressively more unusual hairstyles will appeal to young readers, and the turnabout ending is satisfying if not surprising. Students of all genders, races, body types, and ages are equally subject to ridicule. The blatant hostility to Stephanie's creative coiffures is never explained, however, and her unholy glee when escaping the rampaging mob of bald classmates borders on malicious. The text is presented opposite the full-page watercolor illustrations that are suitably cartoonish and silly. Independent readers will notice the funny details, such as pets with ponytails. While too small for use with large groups, this book could spark a lively discussion if read aloud. Predictable, irreverent Munsch.-Carol Ann Wilson, Westfield Memorial Library, NJ

    Amazing!

    This clever story about a girl who just wants a ponytail is a cute, and funny adventure for anyone who chooses to read it. Poor Stephanie is challenged by her copy-cat peers every day she attends school. No matter how ridiculous the style, her classmates think Stephanie's hair is amazing. This is a great story for all ages because it shows the importance of being yourself, even when being yourself is hard. I definitely recommend it to anyone, young or old, if you just want a laugh, or if your daughter or son could use a good picture book. Stephanie's Ponytail is the book for you!

    What a great story about being yourself.

    This story is wonderful. My daughter who is 6 could really relate to Stephanie's Ponytail. It takes a real life situation and over elaborates on it to making it funny. It just reinforces that it is ok to be yourself even when your different from others.
