I'm not Scared no way is a got picture book to use when a parent's not sure how to prepare their for changes.

Thanks to NetGalley and its writer for providing me with an advanced copy of this book.

i might say this book teach to your little kids about how to lose being afraid of getting a new haircut. This kiddo was afraid of that. Nevertheless, it's getting better because he really enjoys it.

i enjoy reading this book because i realize when i was a kid, I low-key had this trauma.

4.5

This was cute! I can see it coming in handy for any little who might be afraid of (their first) haircuts! Also appreciated the musicality in the text which is always fun for reading aloud and also liked the illustrations.

Illustrations were so good and gripping with simplicity, but content was so simple and limited with justifying the topic. Still I feel it was put too straight rather than making it more comic and learning patterned.

For me it's an average one.

A cute story about a child being nervous for a hair cut. It slowly describes the different steps of getting a hair cut. Written in rhyme it’s a gentle approach if you had a child that was anxious over having their hair cut. At the back of the book is a keep sake envelope and cut out certificate that can be used for the child.
The book is colourful with cute illustrations.

This was a cute and short picture book about a boy being scared of going to the hairdresser.
The style is simple but colourful, and I think it might be a nice little read for parents and young kids, to explain to them what to expect from a new experience!

A great book to read with children who are nervous about getting their haircut - playful illustrations and rhymes accompany the short story of a boy going for his first haircut. The certificate at the end is a sweet addition and may be a great extra boost for any kids who are still unsure about the experience. The author knows this field well and the illustrations are sweet and simple.

This book is a cute quick little read to show kids that getting their hair cut for the first time is nothing to be scared of and doesn't hurt at all cause some kids can be scared to get their hair cut when they are little

GREAT book to help a fearful child process the scariness of a haircut. For little kids, getting their haircut can be extremely intimidating, especially since scissors and buzzing hair trimmers are involved. The little boy walks through his feelings the day before, the day of, during the appointment, and the excitement afterwards when he realizes that the haircut didn’t change him or harm him. I love the facet of him talking with his dog about everything. I would absolutely recommend this adorable book for anyone with a kiddo who is hesitant about the barbershop/salon.

Thank you, NetGalley!

Carson is scared to get a haircut. This book in rhyme tells the tale of how he overcame his fear. The book does a great job of telling just what it is like to get a haircut. The illustrations are beautiful especially of his dog Cooper. I would recommend this book before a child gets his first haircut.

right off the bat, I was excited to see a book about feelings featuring a young boy. It is very important to me that young children of all genders see people who look like them expressing emotions healthily and learning to deal with them. I am hopeful to see books similar to this that feature children of color as protagonists as well!

I LOVED THIS SO MUCH. First and foremost, the dog in the book looked like my dog...and shared the same name! Did that make me cry a little bit? Yes, yes, it did. Am I willing to admit that? Yes, yes, I am.

I also loved this story! I loved that it really captured the essence of that fear of getting your first haircut and how daunting of an experience that can be for kids. Then they get it over with and they think, "THAT'S IT?! OH MY GOD! THAT WAS SO EASY!"

I loved the rhyme scheme. I loved the illustrations. I loved all of it. It was just so tender and sweet!

Perfectly decent little piece, with a rhyming text from the point of view of a kid who is feeling so brave about getting his hair cut – until the time comes… Colourful, cartoonish design conveys his world well, and the text does what it needs to. I'd sack that hairdresser for what she does, but that's just me. Often a book can be either too intent on fun and less so its purpose, or get so het up on the message it loses all entertainment value. This gets it spot on, so a strong four stars.

Since a lot of kids are scared to cut their hair, I think this is a good book. I've heard the author is a hairdresser and it makes perfect sense. The bright color fits with the story as well so props to the illustrator.

I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.

This was a cute rhyming story about a boy going to get his first haircut. He's clearly nervous about the experience, but tries to put on a brave face anyway. Kind of a fake it til you make it sort of thing. In the end, he realizes that getting his hair cut wasn't so scary after all, and he really likes his new hairdo. I never realized that getting a first haircut would be a scary event for a child because both of my children were barely one when they got their first cuts. My son's nickname wasn't Fabio for for nothing. But as the author is a long time hairdresser, I'm sure she's seen it all, so I trust she knows what she's talking about.

The illustrations were unfortunately chopped up on my device and hard to view. From what I could see, they were colorful with soft edges and tones, not bold, brash in your face colors. I wish I could say more about them, but I can't.

This is probably a book you wouldn't need to read to your kids several times, but kids can be weird so what do I know. Overall I give it 3.6 out of 5 stars.

Adorable book for little ones first haircut! The illustrations are just so cute. A fun rhyming story that will keep your little one engaged and entertained.

I'm Not Scared No Way! by Kimberly Pattison - 4/5

Getting a haircut can bring up a lot of feelings, and that's exactly what happened with Carson. Carson went through a lot of feelings when it was time for his first haircut. Hearing and seeing those emotions form was a great way to share this story with children who may have experienced those feelings for themselves. I love a great story that has real life situations and how no matter the way we feel it is all normal to go through the emotions.

The illustrations are fun and vibrant. I love that there was a dog throughout the story, it made my children excited to see him and brough some laughs. Great story with a great message about feelings.

Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for the ARC.

This book is so cute! The illustrations are perfect and I love the rhyming. I think it’s a great book to give a child before their haircut or even for stylists to have for when children come in to get their hair cut so they have something fun to help ease the anxiety.

I hear many parents saying that their children don't like to cut their hair, oddly enough all of them are boys.
This book talks about that, how one boy overcame the fear of having his hair cut.
I love the drawings, they are super cute.

Thank you to NetGalley and Books Go Social for the free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book goes through the emotions a child might go through when getting their first haircut. It's great for a child that might be two or three, but most kids don't remember getting their first haircut. I sure don't remember mine.  
 
Personally, if a child is getting upset about their first haircut beforehand, I think it has more to do with the parents getting upset about it, and the kids feeding off of their parent's emotions. That's not to say that once they get to a hair salon that the noises from hair clippers or seeing scissors come towards their head isn't upsetting because I am sure it is.  

What I would've liked to see in the book is more of the actual haircut and the hairdresser showing all the tools to the kid to help them understand what would happen. The aftermath showing that the parents were excited about the haircut was great.

With that being said, having items at the back of the book to keep the child's hair among other things associated with the first haircut is an amazing way to make a memento of one of the child's "firsts". 

All in all, I gave I'm Not Scared No Way! by Kimberly Pattinson, Illustrated by Zeynet Dural four out of five stars because it was a super cute book.
