Even Monsters Need Haircuts

The silly and spooky story of a boy who follows in his father's footsteps . . . in his own monstrously unique way!

Just before midnight, on the night of a full moon, a young barber stays out past his bedtime to go to work. His customers may be regulars, but they are anything but normal--after all, even monsters need haircuts!

Business is steady all night, and this barber is prepared for anything with his scissors, rotting tonic, horn polish, and stink wax. It's a tough job, but someone's got to help these creatures maintain their ghoulish good looks.

“"Delightfully deadpan . . . a good candidate for the stack of battered bedtime favorites." - Publishers Weekly, starred review "McElligott populates his book with cheery, if toothy and hairy, creatures and fills the seemingly ordinary barbershop with kid-pleasing details. . . full of crowd appeal." - Kirkus Reviews "There is a lot of care and heart put into this package, which makes it stand out in a crowd of overly zany Franks and Dracs." - Booklist”
