So cute! As a child I HATED having my hair brushed. Hated, hated, hated! So I love this story! However, young children are really impressionable and I am not sure the best lesson to teach them is, "if you have a problem the best solution os to make it someone else's problem." If you do teach this in class or use it with your children use this as a time to talk about how there are better solutions. Maybe have students come up with their own ideas for stopping the knot monster (making a doll and washing her hair, putting shampoo in pasta to dance around in, playing in flowers that smell just as good, etc.) As long as you address the other solutions children should be able to see how there are better ways to handle problems.
