Summary from Goodreads
Mad Professor Erasmus
has long forgotten his first creation, Stitch Head, leaving the lonely
patchwork monster to take care of Castle Grotteskew all by himself. But
when the professor is kidnapped by crusty pirates, Stitch Head decides
to risk his almost-life to save his creator. He'll need a little help
from his new friends, the Creature and Arabella, to learn to embrace his
inner pirate and sail the seven seas in pursuit of his missing mentor.
I was in the mood for something different when I picked Stitch Head up from Netgalley. Actually I have to admit the book cover was the thing that caught my attention first. I thought it was different, original, and a little creepy. Since creepy seemed to be part of my mood, I really wanted to get my hands on the book.
Stitch Head is a little creepy Children's book about Mad Professor Erasmus, first and very forgotten creation. They all live in a fictional town in a Castle Grotteskew, where the Mad Professor keeps coming up with all these odd monsters - that Stitch Head tries to fix when they go bad.
Upon discovering the "Diary" of a pirate, Stitch Head is convinced because he has the same blue eye as the pirate on the cover, that he too can be a pirate. When the Mad Professor Erasmus get's kidnapped, with the help of his friends Stitch Head sets out on a pirate adventure in order to help him.
Stitch Head is a book about friendship, imagination and adventure. Filled with loyalty, and a small patchwork doll with a big heart. I did enjoy this cute quick read. I thought the illustrations were done nicely and the writing kept you entertained from the very first page!
I liked Stitch Head and his friends Arabella and Creature. I am looking forward to more adventures from the little patchwork monster!
This looks like a really cute read with some great messages for younger children. I love that cover too, so much fun and yes, a little creepy!
ReplyDeleteI like the cover too, and this sounds cute. I will keep this in mind for holiday gift giving.
ReplyDeleteI don't really read children's books, unless I read them to my kid, and those are mostly still picture books, but I agree that the cover is extremely alluring and I'm very tempted. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely review.
Ah this sounds like a really cute read. I rarely read MG books though, but every time I do I enjoy them. Great review, Lily :)
