This is a wonderful story about taking a risk that didn't pay off, at least at first. Stanley felt horrible after going all out for crazy hair day on the WRONG day. His classmates put Stanley's feelings ahead of their own embarrassment and their friendship saves the day!

Fitting In?

Stanley Birdbaum enjoys all the special days his class commemorates-Pajama Day, Twin Day, Sixties Day. So he goes all out for Crazy Hair Day, using rubber bands, styling gel and two cans of colored Halloween hair spray to fashion a row of blue and orange spikes.When Stanley arrives at school, he learns that Crazy Hair Day is NEXT Friday. Today is School Picture Day. Mortified, Stanley hides out in the bathroom. When his buddy finally coaxes him out, Stanley learns his class has devised a way to make him feel part of the class photo.A great story about being "the-odd-one-out" and enduring teasing, and of friendship and classmate solidarity!
