Allred, Matthew and Illustrated by Okamoto, Keiichiro Where’s Daddy’s Hair? 27 pgs. mha publishing;, 2013. $9.95.  Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G ;  Violence: G.

An adorable little boy is very worried about his dad’s lack of hair, where did it go?! He knows that other daddy’s have hair of every kind, but not his dad. So his mom sits down and explains to him, with examples, that each time his dad did a good deed, one hair left.

I won’t spoil the ending, but it’s downright touching. The story has a nice lyrical flow and compliments the illustrations nicely. I admit to being pretty curious myself, where did it all go!? Did I mention the illustrations? They are fantastic, like watching an anime movie, presenting as both fresh and current. This book would make a fun addition to a father’s day collection or as a gift.
