This book tells a red-haired boy who hesitates about having his hair cut.

This is a story about a boy who really needs a haircut! There's a lot of rhyming and play on words. The barber is named Mr. Barberelli.

I think children could easily relate to this story. Majority of kids don't want to do things that their parents want them to do like cutting their hair. I personally like the illustrations and how the red popped out on every page. This reminds me of one of my kids that I watch over. He has such long hair and refuses to cut it, even though it's always in this face. I'm just waiting for the day that he gets it cut.

TIt's a story about a boy who doesn't want to cut his hair before he gets mistaken as a mop. The illustrations of this book are simple but appealing. The red color keeps popping up and I think children will find that funny. The story is also silly and makes children easy to relate to it. Children often think they are right about something but realize afterwards that they might be wrong anyway.

This book was read in my college class. I enjoyed this silly book. It's a great book when talking about children being stubborn, and then changing their minds for the better.

This was one of my two favorite books when I was young. It's about an adventurous little boy who doesn't really want to get his hair cut. After an accident at the grocer he decides it's best to go to the barber. I love the illustrations and the wording is so whimsical. It's best for children 3 to 6. My 3 yr old grandson loves it.

A little boy is not too thrilled at loosing all of his hair and getting a trim, but then something comical happens that gets him running to the barbershop!Ages: 4 - 8**Like my reviews? I also have hundreds of detailed reports that I offer too. These reports give a complete break-down of everything in the book, so you'll know just how clean it is or isn't. I also have Clean Guides (downloadable PDFs) which enable you to clean up your book before reading it! Visit my website!

Mop Top Rate: 5Great illustrations of the little boy and the little town. I loved how he only used orange, black and white made the focal point of the story his hair and the things the author wanted you to noticed. Cute story defiantly shows boys will be boys and they like to do their own thing and listens to no one. Funny how the old woman picked him as a mop something every kid would laugh at. Good book for haircuts for kids and something they can really can relate to.

Mop top Don freemanThis book is about a boy who goes to the barber and tries to not go. Then he hides behind a bunch of mops and a lady pulls his hair, so he goes to the barber and gets his hair cut! I will recommend this book to kids in first grade and especially ones with RED hair who are in first grade!

I thought this was a cute story about a boy needing a haircut. I thought it was funny how he would always get distracted on his way to the barber shop. This was a funny book that little boys could relate to. I also loved the ending when he finally decided to get a haircut.

My 1st and 2nd graders loved it...especially the puppy. 😊

The little adventures this boy goes on are adorable! I can personally relate to this book becuase I have a family member who absolutely hates getting his hair cut. He would rather deal with having a "mop top" than going to get his hair cut at the barber shop. This book is a fun little text for children to read. It is sure to keep children interested in the quirky little boy's adventures as they flip through each page. I also enjoyed the illustrations! The way the pictures emphasized the color re...

Mop Top is about a boy who does not want to cut ip his hair, but it's so long he looks like a mop. Throughout the story he fights cutting his hair, but after being mistaken for a real mop, he decides it would be best to cut it. This story is very silly, and many children could relate to it thinking they are right about something but realizing they may be wrong. The illustrations are very simple, but the pop of red adds a lot to the story because they draw your eye to the main focus and help tell...

I loved this book so much as a child, I stole it from my school library and refused to give it back. My parents made me return it and I wasn't allowed to take it out again.I think about it as an adult and have such good and happy feelings. But don't ask me why, because now I barely remember what it is about. Just gives me the warm fuzzes.

I particularly appreciated the comforting use of internal rhyme in the text.

This book was a reading example as my class learned about authors. Mop Top was about a boy that had long red hair that he did not want to get cut. When his mom sends him to the barber, Marty detours to a store and hides behind moms. This lady is shopping for a mop and grabs his mop top. He screams and runs to the barber to change his hair. After he gets his hair cut he feels like he's entered a new world!

This book has a great storyline about a young boy who really needs a haircut. I have a personal connection with this story because of my brother who never ever wanted to get his haircut. He always threw a fit and made a big fuss about getting his haircut so Mop Top is a book that he could really relate too. The setting of this book is from a long time ago and the mother sends the boy on his own to the barber shop to get a haircut. The ending is sweet and could teach a good lesson to my brother a...

Mop top is an ornery little boy who loves his moppy red hair. He is told by his mother to go get his hair cut before his birthday and on his way to the barber shop he meets with different individuals who reinforce what his mother said he needs a haircut. I love this book mostly because I love Don Freeman books.

As a child I was always looking for this book whenever we went to the library. Now I'm reading it at home with my kids who love it just as much as I did. I bought my very own copy so I wouldn't have to search the library shelves anymore.

My favorite Freeman so far.
