Say HELLO to your new best friends, Cabin Head and Tree Head, in this outrageously hilarious and off-the-wall graphic novel set in a world where everyone has something on their head!
Best buddies Cabin Head and Tree Head do everything together, from getting their portraits painted (and remember, NEVER eat Taco portrait no matter how delicious it looks) to overcoming bad haircuts (apparently not everyone can cut a dolphin jumping over a wave made of stars with an octopus surfing on it eating a taco covered in planets and a tiger with a hat into a tree). What's the secret to their friendship? Let's find out Reader Heads...
A wacky, original concept, Scott Campbell's artwork combines with his unique sense of humour to create 6 stories that are full of goofy laugh-out-loud adventures and hilariously endearing characters you can't help but love. Written in an accessible and easy to read graphic novel format, this is a wonderful gateway for young readers, and perfect for those who struggle with reading.

[A]n overwhelmingly pleasant reading experience...this title is sure to be a hit with younger readers and fly off the shelves. A heartwarming, hilarious gem that young readers will return to again and again. * STARRED REVIEW, School Library Journal *
Best friends Cabin Head and Tree Head love having adventures together, from painting portraits to hide-and-seek. There’s no challenge they can’t weather, even a disastrous haircut, in this entrancingly surreal, child-friendly 5+ graphic novel. * Guardian *
Delightfully absurd * The Scotsman *
“Cabin Head and Tree Head takes us to a beautifully silly world, filled with friendly eccentrics and brought to life by Scott Campbell's effortlessly charming cartooning. I could read a million pages of stories about these guys.” * Tom Gauld *
“Cabin Head and Tree Head is hilarious - I wish I had come up with this concept. My daughter is obsessed!" * Katie Tsang, author of the Sam Wu Is Afraid… series *
This book is a delightful reminder that there is still space in the world for children's books that are nonsensical, quirky and fun with glimpses of kindness. I really enjoyed it. * Flavia Z Drago author-illustrator of Gustavo, the Shy Ghost *
Fabulously funny and absolutely bonkers, this book will appeal to those who appreciate quirky humour, eccentric characters and surreal storylines. * BookTrust *
It’s a book that feels both utterly contemporary and gently timeless — a sequence of absurd parables for readers who love their humour with a philosophical edge. Frog and Toad for a new generation, perhaps, but with extra surrealism, a whiff of buried boot, and a great deal of heart. * Books for Keeps *
