I grabbed this book because of the cover and title. It’s a cute song and I haven’t heard anything about it previous to grabbed the book. But we watched/ listened to it after. It is really cute and my daughter did get a kick out of both. Well also enjoyed the illustrations.
I would recommend this book to other kids who may possibly get bad hair!

Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – words & pictures.

I'm crying from laughing! I didn't listen to the TikTok song before reading, and I was like this is so silly I know kids would love this! Then I get to the end and it reminded me to check out the song! I went and listened, and the author is a music teacher!! I loved going to music class when I was in elementary school so that was just an instant smile for me! Also, who is the lead vocalist on the song?? That kid is amazing!

Great rhyming throughout the book and liked the receptiveness.

I loved the chicken throughout the book, it was fun looking for the chicken on the pages to see what he was up to,

Great illustrations, colorful, loved the hair turning green especially on picture day!

The only complaint I had about the book was his brother calling him a "Fuzznut." Not something I want my 4 and 5 year old walking around saying to each other, their siblings or other kids

This book was fine. Nothing particularly stood out for me about it. Quite repetitive, unfortunately. This is t always a bad thing but the book felt like it lacked anything unique that would make me want to buy it for my child.

This one was cute and adorable.

The artwork was fun, and the storyline flowed and the rhyming was fun and engaging.

the message of this one was fun and cute. Shows that everyone can have bad hair days and make it fun

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

This is a cute rhyming story about a kid who wakes up on school picture day with one of the worst cases of bedhead ever. And nothing they try helps to tame their locks. I feel like that's something most of us can relate to to some extent.

The illustrations were very bold and colorful, and the rhyming was so fun that I wouldn't mind reading this book several times over. Overall I give Bad Hair Day 4.3784 out of 5 stars.

Funny and cute story and illustrations. Kids and adults both can relate to the story and share the frustration! The song is adorable too.

This is such a cute book! Its great for a classroom. It has great flow, and of course they love the rhymes and the repetitiveness so they can sing along. This book has a great message along with lots of differenty types of children shown, which I always love for my classrooms. Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!

Colorful illustrations bring to life the TikTok hit from a music teacher about having a bad hair day. One hilarious comparison after another makes this a great story for kids - and their caregivers! In the end, there's nothing like embracing your bad hair days! Share it with the music for extra laughs. (my kiddos loved it)

A super cute rhyming book about a bad hair day. The kids loved the rhymes and the pictures. Winner at our house!

This book is adorable! I read it with my daughter. Great illistrations. A very fun story to share with your early readers.

The kid in this book wakes up with a WAY bad hair day. There are good similes and metaphors and descriptions of how bad it looks and then when they get to school, they realize it is picture day! What a cute story and it has wonderful evidence of a variety of cultures.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.

This is an adventure filled , relatable and funny story about a bad hair during picture day. I absolutely enjoyed this story and I think the author did a wonderful job with the illustrations, the rhymes. The book belongs in schools , bedrooms and to be read everywhere.

Well, this must go down as a first – the first time I have reviewed something inspired by some ticktock video. And hopefully it might be the last, too. I mean what is the actual chicken doing here, beyond providing the impetus or idea for the climactic scene? Why does the rhyming manage to be so good all the time, apart from one page? And could the visuals for such books actually get more inclusive than these? Probably not, is the answer to that one, and as for the other questions I'm sorry I made you think I actually cared. This is fun on a very meh scale – a lively and harmless enough rhyme about having a bad hair day, put into song lyric form so characters are forced to join in with the chorus, and one where I'm sure kids will enjoy it and their attendant adults will hate it from the second play-through. And no I won't be selling my soul to the Chinese just to hear the track to confirm my suspicions there, either, thanks. Two and a half stars.

Bad Hair Day by John Phillips is a quirky and goofy book about a child having a bad hair day on picture day. It includes a viral TikTok song to sing along with and have fun. The illustrations are amazing, and the story is easy to follow along with, having repetition as well.

I like picture books that feature characters coming to accept all of their uniqueness, whether it's their size, skin, or hair. I chose this book expecting it to be about accepting your hair. This book is not about any of that! The character wakes up with wild hair and spends the morning signing about his efforts to tame it. It's cute and catchy and might have you signing along. It also might help a self-conscious child laugh rather than worry about the inevitable "Bad Hair Day."

I read this with my baby sister and she loved it. It's good to let kids know they can have a bad hair day. This is my third picture book and I am falling in love with the idea of making small kids happy.

This would be good to have at a home library or a book for kids to read for fun in the classroom. It was very enjoyable.

This is an illustrated picture book with cute artwork and characters of the TikTok song Bad Hair. If you really love the song you'll enjoy the book. If you don't know the song then you can listen to it (the book has a QR code at the back) and it's a silly fun song.
Also, the book has a great ending embracing creativity and diversity.
Thank you Netgalley and publisher for this e-arc.

What a funny book I have seen a lot of books lately about hair and it’s messy mess this was a good one
