About the Book: Read along as the narrator of this story comes up with some very practical rules for dealing with a vampire. But rules are meant to be broken, aren’t they? From feeding the vampire garlic to filling the house with mirrors, the narrator is doing just that! With ten full-page gatefolds and a pop at the end of the book, kids will love seeing which rules are being followed and which aren’t!
My Review: This is just the cutest book! Why am I saying that about a Halloween book that is about vampires? Well, because it's for children, even young ones, and they won't be scared by it.
This book is filled with the 10 rules for what to do when you have a vampire over for dinner. Who does that? Well, children with imaginations, that's who! The illustrator makes this book come to life with fun pictures that go along with each rule. Every page is a different rule and folds out to reveal what to do and not to do. At the end, children will be surprised with a "pop-up." Children and adults love pop-ups in books and I'm glad to see one used in this one.
Right now is the perfect time to share this book with the young children in your life. Happy Halloween and have fun learning about what to do and not to do when a vampire comes to dinner!

What a cute book! It reminds me of The Zombie Survival Guide!
Thanks so much for the review! Maybe the book has giggles in it because it originally came from a tickling game I used to play with my daughter. I would tell her a vampire was coming to dinner and she better be a good host! (She would hide her neck.) It's one of those few times when an author really know exactly where a book idea came from.
This book looks adorable!!
I love it that there is a vampire book that isn't completely creepy! Thanks for being on this tour - I'm glad you're feeling better. :)
