THREE STARRED REVIEWS! • HELLO, READER HEADS! Jump headfirst into the wonderfully off-the-wall world of renowned creator Scott Campbell, in this goofy, good-natured graphic novel series featuring a best friend duo like no other! It's Frog and Toad meets Bill and Ted for a new generation of readers — and best buddies of all ages.
Book 1 includes 6 laugh-out-loud adventures in a universe where everyone has something on their head! Includes bonus content: Storytime with Library Head, Pool Party with Pool Head and Drawing Time with Box of Crayons Head.
Whether drawing or hiding or just saying HELLO or BYE-BYE, Cabin Head and Tree Head are irresistible buddies who have fun together, support one another's ideas (digging for treasure without a map) and help one another overcome challenges (bad leafcuts!). These are lighthearted tales of two pals who think differently — and entirely embrace it — set in a landscape of equally unforgettable characters such as Automobile Head, Volcano Head and Trash Can Head. Let’s go hang out with all the Heads!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Oblong-shaped best friends Cabin Head and Tree Head—whose respective noggins sport a picturesque abode and a tree hung with a tire swing—star in this goofy early reader graphic novel series starter by Campbell (Skulls!). In the first of six stories, Tree Head announces to Cabin Head, "I feel a case of the HELLOS coming on." A full-page illustration—rendered in earth-toned watercolors on sepia paper—depicts Tree Head's mad dash through the neighborhood greeting myriad residents ("Hello, Fountain Head!"). Though Tree Head inadvertently leaves their BFF in the dust, once the titular tag team reunites, they encounter Construction Heads ("I don't think they heard us. It is too loud over there") and TV Heads ("too engrossed in their programs"), until a final address ("Hello, tacos") sees the pair sharing a meal on a grassy knoll. The conflict is low, and the spirits are high between the easygoing duo, whose subsequent adventures feature treasure hunting, a bad hair day, and an epic game of hide-and-seek. It's a congenial snapshot of best buds who are eager to bask in life's everyday joys—and, as the introductory tale suggests, happy to invite a new friend along. Ages 6–9.
