Stitch Head by Guy Bass

Stitch Head -isn't he cute?

Funky, funny and engaging, Stitch Head is the story of a forgotten but extremely loyal creation of a young mad scientist. The little "monster" is named Stitch Head due to the peculiar appearance of his head; it's all stitched together with thick, black stitches. While he was once a young mad scientist's best friend,
events occurred that left Stitch Head alone and discarded while the mad scientist, Erasmus, went on to create increasingly massive and terrifying monsters. Which actually end up not being so horrifying, thanks to the valiant but humble efforts of Stitch Head. Stitch Head aids Erasmus in this new way now; he has a multitude of ways to turn those crazed monsters straight from the lab into relatively gentle, albeit odd, social creatures. They all live in notorious Castle Grotteskew, and all is fine, or pretty much fine, until a sideshow rolls into town, and the head honcho of the sideshow attractions starts making trouble for Stitch Head. The story is light and humorous and sure to delight a lot of young readers who revel in kooky, creepy material. The illustrations are very well-done and add to the story, giving us a fun view of Stitch Head and the other characters. This would be a good addition to any library or home bookshelf that caters to kids.
