Funny story about a boy that's trying to have a perfect picture day. However, it appears that everything is going wrong, including horrible hair, stained and wrinkled shirt, and paint splatters on his face. Yet, we find out that was his plan all along, to have a horrible picture. But as he's smiling thinking about how well his devious plans worked out, the photographer snapped his perfect grin. His mom ends up loving the photo and he starts planning how he can ruin the next picture day. ( )

It’s picture day, and the boy in this story wants to make sure his picture is perfect. It seems as though everything is going wrong for him. He has terrible bedhead, a stained shirt from breakfast, and a big scowl on his face. But when he goes up for his picture, he thinks about his terrible appearance, and realizes it just might be perfect. ( )

I was laughing the entire time I read this because it made me think of my little brother during his picture days in elementary school. My little brother could never force a smile, he always wore a green shirt that messed with the background, and his hair was always a mess. A lot of kids can relate to the stress and worry involved in a picture day. ( )

Uses: This would be the perfect book to read probably after picture day so that the students don't get any ideas. But pretty much I would just use it as a for fun book to read.
