Synopsis
What would you do if your Daddy Lost His Head? Make him a new one of course! All you need is some old newspapers, paint and a potato for his nose. It turns out there are lots of advantages to having a dad with no head: he doesn’t shout or snore, he always agrees with you, and he loves doing the hoovering. But will Daddy ever find his real head?
Editorial Reviews
"Daddy Lost His Head is a surreal joke, wittily illustrated by Quentin Blake. Andre Bouchard's tale (is a) funny and poignant fable about how a small child might react to a father losing his head in a sense sadly all too familiar to divorced parents." - Amanda Craig, The Times
"Funny, subversive story, with witty illustrations. One for workaholic dads to read themselves." - Frances Perkins, Bournemouth Daily Echo
"Blake's trademark style of illustration complements the very humorous narrative in this laugh-aloud, surreal chunk of madness." - Mary Arrigan, The Irish Examiner
"A hilarious and surreal fable..." - Mary James, Country Life
"[a]...fascinating, comically queasy tale...'" - Kate Kellaway, Review (Supplement to The Observer)
