One day, Dad's hair had enough of being brushed and combed. It desired a life of its own, to explore the world. Without any warning, it took off.
From the bathroom, it made its way into the kitchen, and before anyone could utter, "Hairsta la vista, baby!" it was already gone.
Dad immediately went into pursuit mode around town. He managed to spot his hair hiding in the lawn, on the road, and even at the zoo. It's quite surprising how many things can resemble hair. Eventually, he gave up.
Dad tried his best to adjust to life without hair. However, the postcards started arriving. His hair was on an around-the-world trip, and Dad remained bald. But then, one day, the unthinkable happened. The hair returned.
This is a captivating and fast-paced story, filled with delightful wordplay and vibrant, hilarious illustrations. It's a perfect book to enjoy with a grownup who can relate, especially on Father's Day or any day.
"When Dad's Hair Took Off" is a delightful chapter book for young readers or any child who loves to be read to. It's a fun book to celebrate and share with Dad on special occasions like Father's Day or any day.
