Description
Sally is going to the groomer!
Lovable pup Sally is looking a little shaggy, so her owners are taking her to the groomer. It smells like a garden and Sally sees brushes and bows galore. Then it's time for a bath. Once she's squeaky clean and blow-dried, Sally gets brushed, snipped and clipped. When her owners arrive—surprise!—everyone has fancy new hairdos!
About the authors

Andrew Larsen is a father, homemaker and author. When he was a child, he would spend a part of every summer with his grandparents at their cottage on a hill, by a lake. Andrew now lives in a downtown Toronto neighbourhood. He has published seven picture books.
Born in Hong Kong, Dawn Lo is an illustrator currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia, on the unceded lands of the Squamish, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. Her work has appeared in the picture books Snow Song and The Rainbow Garden Is My Friend, as well as in stationery, greeting cards, public art installations, murals and more! Dawn aims to create works that are high-spirited and whimsical while retaining a certain degree of simplicity and humor. Most of her work is inspired by little everyday moments and personal multicultural experiences. When she is not drawing at her home studio, she works at the public library where she can surround herself with more books.
Editorial Reviews
“Larsen and Lo team up again to bring sweet pup Sally’s simple adventures to life. Toddlers who are trepidatious about their first trips to the barber or salon will identify and be calmed…and probably want to play with bubbles…Reassurance that new experiences don’t have to be scary.”
Kirkus Reviews
“This book was born for the ‘first haircut’ stacks…Elevating a common childhood milestone to a gleeful case of the primps, this book will prime children for Sally’s next outing.”
School Library Journal (SLJ)
“For a young child who will be having a first haircut, perhaps, Sally reveals much of what’s in store for them: all the fragrances, the mirrors, and the blow dryer, plus the proud conclusion. Sally’s delightful experience with the groomer may ease a child’s concern over a haircut and turn it into an enjoyable event.”
