Stephanie's Ponytail By Robert Munsch


One day Stephanie decided that she wanted to be different from the other kids in her school by wearing a ponytail. When she gets to school the other kids tell her the ponytail is ugly. Stephanie, being a strong willed individual, tells them she doesn't care what they think, she likes it. The next day Stephanie goes to school everyone is wearing ponytails just like Stephanie. The next morning Stephanie wants a side ponytail and everyone tells her it is ugly but the very next day they have side ponytails. This keeps going until Stephanie is so sick of all the copycats that she tells them she is going to shave her head! Everyone shaves their heads except Stephanie. This story sends a great message, that is best to be yourself. The kids in my class liked this story and I laughed when I read it.

I love this story, it's so funny. I used it in 5th grade class for an example for something they were going to do...and they loved it too!
