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.
Translated from the German edition by Melody Shaw, where it was
shortlisted for multiple awards. Jörg Mühle studied illustration
in Offenbach and Paris. He has been illustrating for books and
magazines since 2000. He is the author and illustrator of worldwide

A satisfied lizard has found the perfect present for a
hard-to-please friend in this happy comic gift book about gifts,
ideal as a gift in its own right. You're a very hard person to buy
for, but have I got the perfect thing for you! In this little
hardback gift comic, a lizard is delighted with its whole bag of
genius presents for a slightly unusual friend. At first things
don't go so well... The friend wolfs down each one and reaches out
greedily for the lizard itself! Until the story finishes with a big
kiss and a cup of peppermint tea: "Perfect presents!" says the
friend. "Just to my taste!" This funny comic with a twist is a fun
read for children of all ages and a perfect present for anyone-even
those who are hard to buy for.
This big-hearted picture book captures the warmth and fun of a
spontaneous summer’s day with friends, where one lovely activity
leads to another until they all go back home to bake a cake (two
cakes!) to finish. Raccoon decides to bake an apple cake. But he
has no eggs, so visits his friend Fox, who needs a ladder to mend
the roof. Badger will have one, but he needs help too, so they set
off to find Bear. They stroll through meadows, meet up with Crow,
nibble blackberries and find Bear fishing at the river. Soon the
five friends are having the best day out—the sun shining on their
fur, fishing, swimming, picnic and finally home to bake the
cake—two cakes, because bears have big appetites. A Perfect
Wonderful Day with Friends is a picture book to instantly capture
the heart. Laconic narration, funny dialogue and exquisite
illustrations tell the story of a carefree childhood day. Philip
Waechter is one of Germany’s leading children’s
author/illustrators with a beautifully classic illustration style.
