Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Itâs bad news when you wake up in the morning and find youâve lost your head, especially if itâs an especially agreeable and handsome head, but there you go, such things happen. In any case, the man who loses his head in The Man Who Lost His Head isnât about to grin (that is, if he could grin) and bear it. No, heâll make himself a new one, and starting with a pumpkin and moving on to a parsnip and finally picking up a block of wood, he sets about getting it just right. Still, for all his efforts, it somehow isnât right. It isnât the head he had before. It turns out that only a brash bold boy can save the man who lost his head from losing it altogether.
Claire Huchet Bishopâs charming parable is illustrated by the great Robert McCloskey, whose books for children include One Morning in Maine, Blueberries for Sal, and the Caldecott Medalâwinning Make Way for Ducklings.
