These pages hold a fun, monsterly spin on something all kids experience and can relate to.

This young vampire loves his fangs and takes great care of them. After all, fangs are very important and everyone in the family is proud of theirs. But then, something terrible happens.

Young monster fans are sure to enjoy this one. Not only is this little vampire confident and extremely sure of himself, but thanks to the illustrations, he snuggles right into the comfortable area between human and monsterly. It's never said what this little vampire needs his fangs for (which avoids scarier moments for sensitive readers), the elephant in the room adds a nice, very slightly creepy aura...and that's not even on purpose (I don't think). Instead, the illustrations have him sleeping in a coffin, surrounded by stuffed animals and snuggled in a super sweet and cuddly bat onesie (and that with ears). It's an awesome setting and well done.

But this is not the main point of the tale. This little vampire has a loose tooth, and that is a completely frightening thing, especially for someone like him. But that's only the beginning of the fun. Soon, the tooth fairy gets involved...something that will have young listeners laughing...and the entire thing ends on a lovely note. With a tad bit of humor, too.

It's cute, it's something for young listeners to easily relate to, and it has a uniqueness, which makes one want to read it more than once. I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed this tale quite a bit.… (plus d'informations)
