Crazy Hair Day By: Barney Saltzberg


Stanley is all ready for crazy hair day at his school, but there is one problem! Stanley does crazy hair day a day too early. Stanley wants to hide in the bathroom all day because he is embarrassed, but his friend convinces him otherwise. There are many themes in this book for students to learn about. The first theme i noticed was a theme of building character. This is a great book to help explain that it is important for students to be themselves. Another theme is dealing with disappointment. The author does a great job of showing the thoughts that Stanley has in his head when he realizes his mistake. The last theme that I noticed was the theme of good friends. The book explains very well what a good friends does when mistakes are made and what a good friend can do to make someone feel better when they are having a good day. A great book for students with a variety of themes that could be made into classroom activities.
