The shamp-eI enjoyed the wordplay in this picture book and how ingenious the illustrations are. The rotting tonic, horn polish, and stink wax go on the counter. Together, they slip a skeleton key into the young boy’s father’s barbershop and he lays down his supplies: While everyone else is fast asleep, this young boy sneaks out of the house with a bat named Vlad.
While his father caters to human customers in his barbershop, he has no idea that his young boy “moonlights” as a hairdresser when the full moon is out at night. The young boy in this story is his father’s protege. This is another delightful picture book that demonstrates how even monsters are in need of a hair cut. Publisher: Walker & Company, New York, 2010. Story and Pictures By: Matthew McElligott This is perfect for young kids who also refuse to have their hair cut at all costs, they would certainly empathize with green-haired Stewart. Whether or not Stewart decides to get a hair make over, I shall leave for you to discover. And so Stewart’s hair gets longer and longer that even his basketball and flowerpots and his dad’s keys are tangled up in it. Stewart’s dad came up with a perfect solution: a hair cut! However, Stewart who isn’t too convinced, even came up with several letters to his father – persuasive letters at that to convince him that his hair is absolutely essential for him to frighten off unsuspecting humans and other creatures.
It even reached a point when his mother would use a Super Giant Mega-Detangler just to remove last week’s homework, hairbrush, half-eaten treats and snacks from Stewart’s hair (among other things). Stewart, though, is quite unusual in the sense that he refuses to brush his hair or have it trimmed. Stewart even has a purple best friend named Feliz who is more into the arts and humanities (she loves painting and reading), but both of them enjoy the fine architecture of spiderweb castles. Stewart is pretty much like any other monster kid he enjoys doing what all monsters do such as collecting spiders and all things monstrous.
