One day, Dad's hair decided it was tired of being brushed and combed. It wanted a life of its own, to see the world. It took off.
Out of the bathroom, into the kitchen, and before you could say, Hairsta la vista, baby! it was gone.
Dad gives chase around the town. He spots his hair hiding in the lawn, on the road, at the zoo--it's amazing how many things look like hair. He gives up and tries to accept life without hair. Then the postcards arrive. The hair is on a round-the-world trip, and Dad is still bald. Will his hair ever come back?
A fast-paced, wonderfully absurd story packed with wordplay and hilarious illustrations.
When Dad's Hair Took Off is a comical chapter book for early readers or for any child to enjoy reading aloud with a grownup who relates! A fun book to celebrate and share with Dad on Father's Day or any day.
Translated from the German edition by Melody Shaw, which was shortlisted for multiple awards.
Jörg Mühle studied illustration in Offenbach and Paris. He has been illustrating for books and magazines since 2000. He is the author and illustrator of worldwide bestselling interactive bedtime book for toddlers, Tickle My Ears.
