Monsters Never Get Haircuts
by Marie-Hélène Versini (Author) Vincent Boudgourd (Illustrator)
This funny and quirky picture book celebrates children's imagination.
The narrator of this book knows exactly what monsters are like: they never brush their hair or go to the dentist; they don't wear glasses or play the piano or put on their shoes . . . Monsters don't know they are monsters. They don't do this and they don't do that, and do you know why? Because monsters don't exist!

Monsters--they're not just like us! Adding to the titular pronouncement, Versini supplies a quirky catalog of human behaviors, asserting much that monsters don't do. They don't visit the dentist, wear nail polish, sport glasses, swim, or play football, and they definitely "don't drink strawberry milk," Versini writes in straightforward phrases. Doodle-style pencil-and-paint-textured illustrations from Boudgourd portray variously shaped monsters attempting or avoiding assorted human pursuits: a toothy Loch Ness-type wears a too-small flowered inflatable inner tube, and a brown many-toed monster stands next to a pair of red heels unlikely to fit. By book's end, the creators offer a reality-based reassurance for monster-wary young readers. Ages 3-6. (Sept.)
