Stanley arrives at school, all set to celebrate Crazy Hair Day, only to find out he has mixed up the date with School Picture Day. In this uplifting story of friendship and kindness, what starts out as a worst-ever experience takes a surprising turn as Stanley's best friend and his classmates concoct a creative show of solidarity. Narrated by Zach Braff, with music by Barney Saltzberg and Eric Eckstein. Directed by Virginia Wilkos.
Reviews:
School Library Journal Starred Review: "This outstanding adaptation of a delightful book will be useful for units on friendship, compassion, teamwork, and risk taking.”
AudioFile: "Zach Braff narrates at a snappy pace. His rising voice and staccato speech followed by monotone, elongated moments depict both Stanley's elation and dejection. As the two classmates negotiate Stanley's return to the classroom, Braff is distinctively Larry and distinctively Stanley. Saltzberg's original score provides a jaunty background."
