Publisher's Synopsis
Lom the lion never combs his mane. It's in terrible tangles, and his head is unbearably itchy. Things go from bad to worse when the Gnatters settle into Lom's mane with their music, parties, and plans to invite their cousins the Fleazies to join them. Lom's anguished roars bring the Soldier Bird, who recommends combing, and when the comb won't go through the knots, cutting the magnificent red mane. Will Lom agree to the Soldier Bird's sensible advice and perhaps make a friend in the process? Kurusa's light-hearted narrative and Isabel Ferrer's whimsical art make this an entertaining way to get children to avoid their own "Gnatters" problem by combing their hair.
