Book Synopsis

It was BIG.
It was BAD.
It was...BEDHEAD!
No doubt about it, Oliver's having a very bad hair day. His parents and sister try to help. They push, they pull, they spritz and they spray; they goop, they glop, and they mousse. But Oliver's hair is still way out of control. And today's class picture day!
What's a boy to do?
