Book Synopsis
Open the flaps to follow Vampire Baby through a not-so-spooky haunted castle on Halloween night!
On every page, and beneath every flap, Vampire Baby! is crawling with Gothic Halloween imagery and creeping with classic Halloween creatures, including a mummy, Frankenstein's Monster, a ghost, and a gargoyle. Young readers and pre-readers will discover the details of this nonthreatening Halloween castle alongside their Vampire Baby avatar, as every spread features a flap revealing a fun, unexpected character or surprise.
The durable, interactive flaps make this an ideal multisensory experience for hours of fun at schools, libraries, homeschool or stay-at-home activities.
Review Quotes
"Persico (Greta and the Giants) brings her characteristic whimsical, detailed illustrations to this Halloween-themed read: a muted palette accented by vibrant reds and oranges brings Barks's story to life. A cute, not too scary, addition to library Halloween collections. Recommended."
