Someone's Trying
to Cut Off My Head by Rob Portlock. InterVarsity, paper, 1992, first
edition. Unpaginated. Max's parents announce that this is his big day. They dress him up
in his best sweater and take him to the barber for his first haircut. When he sees the
barber shop and all it paraphernalia, he is apprehensive, but when the barber asks if he
should just cut the top off, Max's imagination runs away with him and time stands still as
he runs out the door. After an adventure with a fire truck and the old clock in the tower,
he is ready to come back in the the barber, for the old clock has explained that the
barber will only cut his hair, not his head, off. Read to ages 3-7. Ages 7-8 will probably
be able to read for themselves. Condition: New book that has suffered a bit from storage
and display. There is light wear to the edges and corners and the ends of the covers curl
out a bit rather than lying flat against book.
