(4) K-3 Daffy comic-book panels illustrate this story of a boy determined to liven up his class's picture day with a bold new haircut. When thwarted, he finds another way to make the day--and the picture--special. The goofiness promised by the pictures is let down by the overlong and meandering story. Still, Billy's solution is unexpected and funny.
