Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Stanley Birdbaum has committed perhaps the worst possible kid faux pas: he has worn a wacky hairstyle to school for Crazy Hair Day-on the wrong day. In fact, it's actually Class Picture Day. Granted, Stanley's 'do has been expertly executed by Stanley's mom: "She wrapped. She dipped. And to make his hair perfect, she sprayed Stanley's hair bright orange and blue. `Ta-da!' said Stanley. `I am a work of art!' " But his pride vaporizes when Stanley discovers his error, and he takes refuge in the boys' bathroom, resolving to be a no-show for the class photo. Saltzberg (Soccer Mom from Outer Space) portrays the characters as roly-poly hedgehog-like critters, but the school setting and social milieu are authentically and poignantly human. He understands how kids revel in the ostensible rule-breaking and goofy creativity of "Spirit Days" ("Stanley rolled the rubber bands in his hair. He gently tapped the tops of his spikes" before entering the classroom), and also how life at the elementary level takes no prisoners-even Stanley's best friend Larry scores a quip at his expense ("Is that a hair-do or a hair-don't?"). The story begins to sink under the weight of empathy as the coif-challenged hero slowly works through his embarrassment (with an assist from the now conciliatory Larry). But the wrap-up offers Stanley the perfect hair tonic: the entire class welcomes him to the class picture with their own hastily improvised but undisputedly zany headdress. Ages 5-8. (Aug.)

From The Critics
This uplifting picture book tells the story of a hamster named Stanley Birdbaum who comes to school prepared for crazy hair day only to find that it is actually picture day! This upsetting mix-up causes poor Stanley his full share of embarrassment and shame. As Stanley hides from his classmates in the boy's bathroom, even his best friend, Larry Finchfeather, is unable to console him. Finally, when Stanley has no choice but to join his class for the school picture, an unexpected but delightful surprise occurs—Stanley's classmates have turned school picture day into crazy hair day! Now, everyone will be united by their off-beat hair styles. The power of friendship and empathy has never been portrayed so elegantly. This is a book that will definitely delight its readers. 2003, Candlewick Press, Ages 6 to 9.
—Michele Coulombe
