Book Review: Where Did Daddy`s Hair Go?

Monsters and Critics offers a review of Where Did Daddy`s Hair Go? by Joe O’Connor.

Jeremiah never thought about the top of his dad`s head until, at their first major-league baseball game together, he hears someone call his dad Baldy. His father explains baldness, but Jeremiah remains unclear on the concept. Then he hears his father say, ‘Before I lost my hair.’ Suddenly Jeremiah is a boy with a mission: finding Dad`s lost hair. It`s nowhere in the house, the garden or yard. Disheartened, Jeremiah sees his bald baby sister and rushes to ask if his dad was born bald.

What’s not to like about a children’s book that celebrates “hair doughnuts” and “hair horseshoes”?
