(2) K-3 Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. Iconoclast Franny insists on keeping her frizzy red hair long and wild. A family reunion prompts her mother (whose own unique style is revealed in the art) to put her high heel down--Franny must have her hair neatly pinned up. When a bird settles into the poof of hair on her head, however, Franny sees potential in her new look. Oxenbury's spirited illustrations take full advantage of the comic opportunities in the well-told story.
