Even Monsters Need Haircuts by Matthew McElligott - ESSENTIAL


McElligott, Matthew Even Monsters Need Haircuts.  Bloomsbury, 2010.  $17.  PICTURE BOOK.  

A little boy’s father cuts hair every weekday, but once a month, on a full moon night, after midnight, the little boy in secretly in charge of the shop.  After a parade of bizarre and creepy customers come through, the boys and his friend Vlad must very carefully clean up for the next day’s human customers.  

I couldn’t resist this creepy cute book.  Just looking at the hairstyle variety on the back will get any kid old enough to not be creeped out to open and enjoy the book.  

EL – ESSENTIAL.
