A fast-paced, comical story for early readers, in which Dad’s
hair takes off through the open window to freedom! One day, Dad’s
hair decided it was tired of being brushed and combed. It wanted a
life of its own, to see the world. It took off. Out of the
bathroom, into the kitchen, and before you could say, “Hairsta la
vista, baby!” it was gone. Dad gave chase around the town. He
spots his hair hiding in the lawn, on the road, at the zoo
—it’s amazing how many things look like hair. He gives up. Dad
tries to accept life without hair. Then the postcards arrive. The
hair is on a round-the-world trip and Dad is still bald. Until one
day the unbelievable happens and the hair comes back. This is a
fast-paced tour-de-force, a wonderfully absurd story packed with
wordplay and full colour hilarious illustrations. When Dad’s Hair
Took Off is a comical chapter book for early readers or for any
child to enjoy reading aloud with a grownup who relates! A fun book
to celebrate and share with Dad on Father’s Day or any day.

Little Rabbit wants to play. He hides behind a blanket, then peeks
out: Peek-a-boo! He splashes in the bath, swings back and forth,
and plays with his own little rabbit too—one, two, three, whee,
rabbit flies! Young children will love taking part in these
familiar sequences and laugh at the cheeky finish, because Little
Rabbit has grown up enough to play a joke on his readers. Jörg

take on all the roles in the story as they copy Little Rabbit. This

A very funny and philosophical illustrated chapter book by a
bestselling author/illustrator pair about courage, true friendship
and our most secret wishes, in which a lame duck takes a blind hen
on a goose chase as they search for adventure and answers to some
big questions. A duck spends her days limping around her backyard
with the help of a crutch until one day a blind hen stumbles in,
lost, and persuades the duck to embark on an adventurous journey.
The duck will guide the hen; the hen will steady the duck's wobbly
leg. They leave together for a place where their most secret wishes
will come true. The pair come upon astonishing obstacles along the
way—a wild forest, a cavernous gorge and many differences of
opinion. The hen starts to wish she’d taken a guide dog rather
than a duck! When the two finally arrive at their destination after
all the hardships, they realize that their own backyard plus a
little imagination offers as much adventure as a whole world. From
the author/illustrator pair of Meet at the Ark at Eight “Hub’s
standout debut in English… Delightful and deep.” Publishers
