Curly Top Arrives! is a book about love and acceptance... and a very good book to read to young children at bedtime.
Curly Top is born with long, red curly hair which, to the surprise of her doctors, nurses, and parents, has a mind of its own. Her parents try to tame her curly red crop in several different ways, all of which have amusing results. After several attempts, her parents come to terms with Curly Top's unique gift.
In the very moment her parents express their love and acceptance, her hair settles down. And once home and tucked into bed, her parents stand at Curly Top's crib appreciating their very special daughter, then whisper a lifelong promise over her that helps Curly Top feel the warmth of their love.

When Curly Top’s mom leaves the kitchen to answer the front door, Curly Top goes to work on making her own breakfast - juggling breakfast round her head.
When the smoke detector sounds, her mother runs in and upon seeing Curly Top’s amusing high-chair orchestration of flying breakfast foods, her mother reacts frantically and startles Curly Top, causing her to drop everything on the floor.
Curly Top listens to the wise words of her concerned mother, “In the kitchen you need supervision," and then sends her hair to the pantry to get a bucket and mop so she and her mother can clean up the huge mess.
After they clean up together, they proceed to make breakfast together, a breakfast that tastes much better - fit for a Curly Top queen!

Her curious curls help Curly Top climb out of her crib to chase after a bushy-tailed squirrel playing outside her bedroom window one morning. When approaching the top of the stairs, Curly top stumbles and her hair begins to wrap around her in a huge red curly ball to protect her as she safely tumbles down the staircase. At the bottom, her hair unwinds itself by spinning her around, leaving her sitting dizzy and somewhat stunned when her parents arrive by her side.
Curly Top must learn to let her parents know when she wants to get out of her crib.
The next morning two strands of hair sneak toward her sleeping parents to wake them by tickling their exposed toes. The story ends with her parents teaching and guiding her on how to descend a staircase safely and with pride.

Curly Top's family is at the beach on vacation. When her parents weren’t looking, Curly Top wandered off to chase after her empty pail tumbling in the wind. She meets a run-away shaggy dog along the way and as she picks up his dragging leash the wind picks up Curly Top and her hair forms a diamond-shaped “hair” kite. Her parents finally find her amongst the other oceanside kites and reel her in.
Curly Top understands that she must not wander off but that she must learn to communicate with her parents.
Curly Top and her parents create fun strategies to communicate with each other moving forward and then return to their sunny summertime fun.

Curly Top
Page 1
"On the first day of August,
when days were long and hot,
Curly Top was born
with long red curly locks."
Page 4
"Everyone stared in amazement
at such a sight to behold!
Their eyes as big as
watermelons, watching it unfold."
Page 3
"... Curly Top's hair was ALIVE,
Moving every which way
as she laughed, screamed, and cried.
Page 12
"Her hair rose up and wrapped them in a warm red curly hug.
Page 13
"As her cheeks blushed in the sunset,
hair sparkling like a stream,
With a little sigh and a sleepy smile, Curly Top slipped into a dream."
