Book Description
Once a month, when the full moon rises, its time for the young son of a barber to get to work. His customers are mostly regulars, but they are a very unusual bunch.
Hell need more than just scissors to tackle the monstrous task ahead–some rotting tonic, horn polish, and stink wax should do the trick. Being a midnight barber isnt easy, but even monsters need haircuts!
School Library Journal
The young narrator learns a lot from watching his barber dad in action-how to give a good haircut or trim, treat his clientele with respect, and give them what they want-even if the "regulars" are monsters. Literally. Once a month, Frankenstein, Cyclops, Vlad, Medusa, and others fill the barbershop chairs after midnight strikes, and the boy (who never breaks the rules and NEVER leaves the house alone) stands atop a ladder or chair, and-clad in monster slippers, pj's, and "shamp-ewww"-filled pockets-competently gives each customer a new do. With a jewel-toned palette in ink, pencil, and digital art, the shadows of night brighten in the barbershop to bring out the personalities of a lighthearted collection of monster-inspired characters. The art invites both inspection of humorous details for individual readers and an opportunity for exploration of voice and mood in a read-aloud. Fears of the unknown are faced as a human arrives at the shop during the wee hours, yet the boy ("More nervous than I have ever been") never backs down and takes care of business. Narrated in the voice of a child, this offering is perfect for young readers facing a bit of personal anxiety.
Booklist
This charming offering posits an especially appealing fantasy: once a month, just before midnight, a young boy sneaks out of his house, goes down to his fathers barbershop, and spends the night cutting the hair of monsters. His version of the shop is a bit different: the photos are flipped to portraits of various creeps, and his equipment is a mite strange, too: The rotting tonic, horn polish, and stink wax go on the counter. The shamp-ewww goes next to the sink. Every monster presents a challenge: the wolfman requires heavy-duty shears, Medusas snakes require intricate braiding, and the skeleton-well, its tough to know what some customers want. McElligotts ink, pencil, and digital illustrations are more subdued than most picture-book monster tributes, which gives this a pleasantly fuzzy, after-hours feel. From the bizarre creature creations to the gently colored backgrounds, 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.
Publisher's Weekly *Starred review*
"With the distinctive combination of the freakish and the humdrum, it's a good candidate for the stack of battered bedtime favorites."
Kirkus
McElligott populates his book with cheery, if toothy and hairy, creatures and fills the seemingly ordinary barbershop with kid-pleasing details.
