Bippity Bop Barbershop Book Review

Sam got this great new book to read called Bippity Bop Barbershop by Natasha Anastasia Tarpley and it is illustrated by E. B. Lewis. It is a great book and it sells for only $6.99 on Amazon.
It is a sweet book about a boy getting his first hair cut. Sam loves the secret knock he has with his dad. "Bippity Be Bop Bop! Bippity Be Bop bop!" I guess the rhythm gets him, but he likes it. 

Summary:
In this companion book to the bestselling I Love My Hair, a young boy, Miles, makes his first trip to the barbershop with his father. Like most little boys, he is afraid of the sharp scissors, the buzzing razor, and the prospect of picking a new hairstyle. But with the support of his dad, the barber, and the other men in the barbershop, Miles bravely sits through his first haircut. Written in a reassuring tone with a jazzy beat and illustrated with graceful, realistic watercolors, this book captures an important rite of passage for boys and celebrates African-American identity.
