(4) K-3 After a sneak-attack haircut snips away a cherished seedling sprouting from a boy's head, he plants it outdoors and, in a sentimental sequence recalling The Giving Tree, visits it until they are both grown. This odd story of communion with nature is told not with words (except the occasional "Snip snap" or other sound effect) but with decorously colored sketchlike vignettes.
