Minji's Salon


An ice cream shampoo and watercolor highlights--what more can a dog ask for? When Minji sees her mother enter a beauty salon, she knows her fluffy-eared dog deserves nothing less than to be the lucky recipient of her own prodigious styling skills.

The author/illustrator, Eun-hee Choung, displays a great sense of fun throughout Minji's Salon with parallel shots of the mother and dog's makeovers. Children everywhere who have ever gotten into their mother's makeup stash will enjoy Minji's "salon's" grand opening.

Minji's problem solving skills are creatively highlighted through complimentary text and artwork. The language is simple and humorous, making it easy for young readers to relate to Minji's unabashed exuberance. Adults will appreciate the author's tongue-in-cheek commentary and deft handling of Minji's mother's surprise homecoming.
