Even Monsters Need Haircuts

BOOK NAME: Even Monsters Need Haircuts
AUTHOR:
Matthew McElligott

This book is about monsters…and lots of them have hair! So they need haircuts. This little boy goes to a barber shop that his dad owns and gives the monsters a haircut when his dad’s not there.

They can only give the haircuts at night when nobody’s there. So Dracula wakes up the boy and when he’s a bat he flies with him to the barbershop. Dracula turns back into a person and he gets the first haircut. Soon the barbershop is full of monsters–ghosts, mummies, and monsters with three heads.

He has to cut all kinds of different hair. Cyclops just has one really long hair that he needs cut. The wolfman has all kinds of hair, all over his body, so he needs a big haircut. Frankenstein’s hair is cut straight across the top. The boy has to braid Medusa’s hair blindfolded because if he looks at her he’ll turn to stone. And one haircut he doesn’t even know what to do…a skeleton doesn’t even have hair!

A person comes in and all the monsters start hiding because they can’t let any regular people see them. So they all hide (in the worst hiding spots) and the person sits down on the chair and says, “Can you take a little off the top?” And then he takes off his entire head! And all the monsters laugh.

This book would be good for kids who like monsters…and who want to be barbers. This book is good for ages 5-7. It’s a picture book with really good pictures.

Im with arianamus, it’s to young for me. However I can think of some books that were really good, even though they were extremly young. Like the cotton tailed bunny and the little gold shoes.

I don’t think that you can ever be too young for some books. Does it always matter what the reading level is for a book? Sometimes it’s good to have read many books for many ages, so you can share your opinion on it. If you recommend a book to a friend, is the first thing you tell them about if it is too young for you? Some picture books can be really, really good. But I do see what you guys are saying. I would probably read this while I wait at the library or for light reading.
