(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin O'Malley. Pete isn't sure how to react when his balding, scruffy dad shaves his head ("He didn't even look like his dad anymore"). A day of reflection sets Pete on the road to acceptance. Despite some too-precious interactions, the text models matter-of-fact discussions about changing appearances. The illustrations humorously incorporate visual and linguistic (a mechanic's ad asks, "Got Bald Tires?") manifestations of baldness.
