"This book is so ridiculous and brilliant that I'm kind of freaking out." --Drew Daywalt, New York Times bestselling author of The Day the Crayons Quit and They Call Me No Sam!

"There are some books that you read and midway through you realize that you are reading for the very first time a title that will now be counted amongst your favorites for the rest of your life. That was my experience reading Cabin Head and Tree Head." ―Betsy Bird, School Library Journal

"A wildly original tale with the buddy-based charm of Frog and Toad but imbued with a wacky energy all its own." --STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews

"This graphic novel is full of wit, humor, and heart. Telling the tale across seven chapters, Campbell reinforces the theme of helping a friend in need with different clever scenarios. The straight-up silly scenes coupled with the soft, muted earth tones offer an overwhelmingly pleasant reading experience. . . . A heartwarming, hilarious gem that young readers will return to again and again." --STARRED REVIEW, School Library Journal

"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. . . . 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." --STARRED REVIEW, Booklist

"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." --The Guardian

"The conflict is low, and the spirits are high . . . It's a congenial snapshot of best buds who are eager to bask in life's everyday joys--and, as the introductory tale suggests, happy to invite a new friend along." --Publishers Weekly

"Illustrations in soft watercolors with a typeface based on Campbell's hand lettering anchor the wacky concept. . . . The humor is a mix of gentle and absurd. It's a winning combination that rewards rereading." --The Horn Book

"Like a sillier, hipper, absurdist comic book Frog and Toad, Campbell's Cabin Head and Tree Head features two best friends going about their lives and enjoying one another's company." --J. Caleb Mozzocco, School Library Journal

"Scott Campbell transforms goofiness into an art form . . . Winsome art and quirky dialogue blend for a tale that's perfect for young fans of the absurd; a lust for life pervades the narrative, too." --Mahnaz Dar and Laura Simeon, Kirkus Reviews

"The best thing about Cabin Head and Tree Head is that there is no reason they have a cabin and tree on their heads! And yet, it's exactly right that they DO have a cabin and tree on their heads! This absurd best-friend duo will make young readers (and their grown-ups) laugh!" --Betsy Harberl, Shelf Awareness
