A father and daughter discover the joys of his crazy hair in this brilliant
picture book. Bonnie tries to tame her father’s hair, but to no avail, as birds
and beasts of every type jostle for space amongst the curls and tresses of this
hirsute book. A warm and funny conversational text combine beautifully with
Dave McKean’s edgy and dramatic illustrations to make this another perfect
picture book by Gaiman and McKean.
Review
‘Electrifying and very funny … a hymn to the unexpected … more thrilling
than threatening … Parents will enjoy reading it aloud at bedtimes, bathtimes
or before those dreaded preschool visits to the hairdresser at the end of the
school holidays’ Saturday Times ‘Individual spreads are breathtaking; the whole
book is astonishing: vibrant, funny, mysterious and inspiring’ Books for Keeps
‘A work of unique luminescence … that pays testament to the power of the
imagination’ The Bookseller There are few picturebook-makers as cool as Dave
McKean and Neil Gaiman, and their latest collaboration is wild … distortions
and magnifications make the images strange and dark, rivaling the text for
energy and verve’ Nicolette Jones, The Times
