Booklist - 09/01/2025 *Starred Review* A pair of best buddies—one with a cabin for a head, one with a tree for a head—star in this uproarious early reader comic packed with visual jokes. In many respects, it has all of the hallmarks of a typical early reader centered on two pals: they go on adventures, encounter mild conflict (like a bad haircut), and almost always end on a celebration of their friendship. But Campbell’s signature watercolor artwork infuses it with loopy energy. Each goggle-eyed, cylindrical character has a different object for a head: TV Heads get distracted by their programs. Construction Heads can’t hear too well because of the active worksites (complete with vehicles and people) on their heads. And when Volcano Head gets too excited, Boulder Head and Catapult Head team up to save the day. Campbell carries this premise through to hilarious effect: when all the Heads decide to hide behind the same rock, the perspective zooms out to reveal the growing pile on the surface of Earth Head, with Moon Head and Satellite Head nearby. Campbell capably taps into the freewheeling creativity of kids’ imaginative play in each of the vignettes included here, and some understated moments of sweet friendship between Cabin Head and Tree Head nicely bookend the delightfully ridiculous stories. Sure to be a favorite for kids with wacky senses of humor. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
