Reviews

[Eileen Carter · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good book for Halloween. Children who are in the upper elementary school age will enjoy this story of a young vampire as he enlightens you on the all the facts and myths of vampires. The pictures are adorable. I would not recommend this for younger children as it might scare them, with the talk of drinking blood, biting necks, etc.

This is such a great book for the Halloween season. Just enough scare for the littlest children. This book contains fun facts about vampires put very simply. I like that it stresses that vampires are not real.

If you wish to educate a child about Vampires' folklore or literature, this book is for you.
