Kids and scissors can be a dangerous combination, so parents teach their kids to be careful with them. Five-year-old Jonathan must have taken that message to heart, since he was terrified of using scissors, even when using them in school under supervision of his teacher. He was even scared of scissors in adults' hands, which explained why he wouldn't allow anyone to cut his hair. When his hair got so long that he was mistaken for a girl, however, he suddenly understood the usefulness of scissors. His next stop was to have his hair cut.It's an entertaining story for both boys and girls, with simple text and colorful illustrations that deliver a message that scissors are dangerous, but that they can be very useful when used with care.
