Illustrated by
Stephen Gilpin.
"Grubby kid" Aidan's hair has gone berserk: on the school bus, it ties itself into bows; in class, it forms two airplane wings; and so on. Aidan and his hair finally have it out in the school bathroom, where tendrils literally spell out its demand ("WASH ME"). The art has a slipshod look, but the caricaturish style does serve this amusingly unruly tale.
