description:  Its picture day and the boy at the center of this charming picture book wants to make sure his picture is perfect. It seems as though everythings going wrong for himhe has bedhead a stained shirt and a big scowl on his face. But when he goes up for his picture he thinks about his terrible appearance and ... what do you think happens?Perfectly paired with the larger-than-life silliness of Dan Santats illustrations this is sure to be a schoolroom favorite. This slapstick picture book will appeal most to school-age kids who will get the jokes peppered throughout the text and the visuals.--School Library JournalThe narrators malleable features are in a perpetual state of contortion as he plans his photo disaster and reacts to the series of unfortunate events that conspire to bring him glory. Clever bits such as the scribbled emoticons on his September calendar page and the sepia- and gray-toned faces that play in his imagination add to the fun.--The Bulletin of The Center for Childrens Books
