Review Detail

What is a little vampire scared of when it's time for bed? The daytime of course! It's hard to sleep with all of the spooky sounds (is that a mailman?!) but it's a good thing mom is there to assure him it's nothing scary at all, just one of the neighborhood monsters going for a walk.

This story is so cute and funny! Of course a vampire would get jumpy at sirens or lawn mowers. I love how, in comforting Victor's fears, we readers are also reminded there's nothing to be scared of from loud noises.

The whole story is told through dialogue and illustrations. In the absence if narrative, I'd be prepared to field frequent questions from little ones, who might want some additional explanations or to just point out fun details in the background. My question - where can I find Victor's plush bat toy?? Or his cute ghost friends?

A great read for anyone who needs a reminder there's nothing to be scared of in the day (or the dark).
