Bippity Bop Barbershop Book

Bippity Bop Barbershop by Natasha Anastasia Tarpley. This fictional book is about this little boy named Miles going to get his first haircut with his father. This story follows this beautiful bond that a son has with his dad. A boy's first haircut is special and this book convey's all those special moments nicely. The boy looks up to his father so much that he wants to look like him when he gets his haircut. I like that the book at a lot of repetitiveness in the text. When reading to the younger kids they love when they can join along in helping you read. The Illustrations done by E.B. Lewis looked really good. They were water colors and he chose a lot of red to make the book pop. This fits my topic perfectly because almost every african american boy has experienced their first trip to the babershop and what that was like. They will be able to relate a lot to this book.
