Synopsis
"A hair-raising trip."--The Bulletin "It was big. . . . It was bad. . . . It was BEDHEAD!" There are bad hair days, and then there are BAD HAIR DAYS. Oliver is having the frizziest, loopiest, clumpiest bad hair day ever. His family tries to help him control the mess, but nothing works--not water, not brushing, not even hair clips. And today is class picture day! How will Oliver survive? Margie Palatini's bouncy text and Jack E. Davis's manic artwork bring high energy and humor to a frequently devastating problem.
