Even Monsters Need Haircuts by Matthew McElligott

2010/40pgs

About the Book: A young boy learns about haircuts from his father the barber and offers his own haircuts during the full moon.

Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: I think this might be one of my favorite picture books I've read so far this year. It's a perfectly delightful and laugh out loud tale about a young barber who offers his services to monsters.

The pre-school crowd will love this book and it would be perfect for Halloween themed storytimes. The cast of characters is what makes this book. The various monsters that fill the page are great and it's fun to see who comes into the shop. The illustrations aren't just about the monsters though. The reader will want to look on the walls and read what products are used on the monsters hair. This would be a great book to read aloud-I loved it!
