The Man Who Lost His Head (New York Review Children's Collection)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Itâ€™s bad news when you wake up in the morning and find youâ€™ve lost your head, especially if itâ€™s 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 isnâ€™t about to grin (that is, if he could grin) and bear it. No, heâ€™ll 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 isnâ€™t right. It isnâ€™t 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 Bishopâ€™s charming parable is illustrated by the great Robert McCloskey, whose books for children include One Morning in Maine, Blueberries for Sal, and the Caldecott Medalâ€“winning Make Way for Ducklings.
