SOLVED. Kids Picture Book with Vampire about blood. Read 2010-2015. [s]

[AJ]

There was this interactive picture book about a vampire. My sister read it between 2010 and 2015. The vampire might have been purple and my sister is certain he had an unsettling face. There was a page about blood oranges in the fridge and there was a flap that was the fridge door that you could open and close. There was another page about his blood hound. And another page about drinking blood from a juice box, and so on. Thats all she can remember.

Hi AJ,

Lift-the-Flap, right? Cartoony images, or more realistic?

There wasn't a list so I started one:

Vampiric Picture Books

[AJ]

I showed my sister the list, and the book she's looking for isn't on there, unfortunately. She is sure that it was a lift-the-flap type book and it was in a cartoony style.

I can't find out much about them, but maybe Count, Dagmar! or Vunce Upon A Time by J. Otto Seibold? Both feature the same vampire character and Count, Dagmar! has flaps to lift, but not sure if Vunce... does

[Becca]

Edit: just saw that Vunce Upon A Time was on the list Capn posted, but not Count, Dagmar, so it's probably a long shot but worth checking just in case

[Capn]

Count, Dagmar! for Becca's link (and thanks, Becca - added it to the list now!). :)

[AJ]

unfortunately it's not count dagmar either, i don't think it's by Seibold

Trick or Treat Vampire?


I just stumbled upon it!

[AJ]

She said she does not recognize that one either

Aj,
I swear I read this exact same book as a kid. Please tell me it was “Dracula’s Tomb” by Colin McNaughton. I scoured the internet looking for it tonight and found your question on Google.. I HAD to come and tell you I swear it has to be that same book??

[Capn]

(Well found, Kyleigh! :D Thanks from me as well!)

Enter, if you dare, the bloodcurdling (and sidesplitting) world of Transylvania’s most infamous gourmet.

Open the Velcro tabs on this coffin-shaped tomb — er, tome — for a peek at some little-known details of Dracula’s infancy, school days, cherished belongings, and lively nightlife. Peer inside a vampire’s fridge and closet, peruse photos of little Drac with boyhood friends, meet his many pets, and get a taste, so to speak, of what eternal life is like for the world’s biggest pain in the neck. Just beware of the final spread — who knows what creepy consequences might spring up if visitors don’t obey the signs?
