Lo he leído con una alumna, ¡nos ha encantado! Lo comenzamos para ambientarnos para Halloween, y lo hemos seguido disfrutando hasta ahora.
Es divertido, con ilustraciones magníficas

“Vampires” by Colin Hawkins
Cute and corny pop-up booklet. Raarr!!

Librito que lleva toda la vida en la casa del pueblo. Es increíble porque:

“Date prisa y cómetelo todo antes de que se coagule”.
“Un lobo babeante, con bigotes recortados, una pajarita y traje de fiesta es un vampiro seguramente”.
“Solo desea que tú también te conviertas en vampiro. Y hay cosas peores que ser un vampiro. Te lo aseguro”.

[Georgie]

The perfect book to complete this year’s reading challenge. I went through a vampire phase as a kid (mid 90s) and used to borrow this book all the time from the library. Some images from books stay with you, and I never forgot the ‘Goremet Supper’ (heh) when they have neck for dinner.

I have absolutely loved this since I was a child, it is so funny and I love the artwork in this too. Some bits are a bit corny, but that's what makes it fun.

Funny and cute at the same time

Grabbed this one from home during a recent visit.
Haven't read with the kiddo yet b/c it might be a little too scary (even if it is "fun scary"), but rereading it by myself was so fun.

I love this book and Witches by the same author when I was a kid. I want to get the two of them this year, I'm an old fart but the art and humor was so goooood.
