Pinny is not yet three years old, the age at which the boys in his community get their first haircuts. Pinny’s long hair falls into his eyes, making it hard for him to have fun. No remedy works quite perfectly until, finally, Pinny reaches the age of three and is ready for his first haircut and upsherin party. Charmingly told and brightly illustrated, with laminated wipe-clean pages, this sweet story is recommended for ages 2 – 4 and can be used to educate those unfamiliar with this custom.
