Claire Huchet Bishop'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 Medal-winning Make Way for Ducklings. It turns out that only a brash bold boy c an save the man who lost his head from losing it altogether. Still, for all his efforts, it somehow isn't right. No, he'll make himself a new one, and starting with a pumpkin and m oving on to a parsnip and finally picking up a block of wood, he sets about getting it just right. In any case, the man who loses his head in The Man Who Lost His Head isn't about to grin (that is, if he could grin) and b ear it.
