Wilfred

(3) K-3 Lonely (and hairy) giant Wilfred tries to befriend a town of bald citizens, but all run away in fear--except for one boy. After the townspeople scheme to use Wilfred's hair to make head-warming wigs for themselves, they are schooled in compassion. This clever and unexpectedly funny morality play is further warmed by the thoughtful digitally colored pen-and-ink drawings displaying every nuanced emotion.
