(3) K-3 Thinking his dad's awesomeness comes from his beard, a boy desperately wants to grow one himself. He spends his money on a "Beard in a Box," but the purported miracle product--surprise!--doesn't work. The boy's dad (who coincidentally shaved off his beard) explains it's the person, not the beard, that matters. Lively mixed-media illustrations add visual punch to the amusing story.
