Fangsgiving by Ethan Long – OPTIONAL

Fangsgiving by Ethan Long. PICTURE BOOK. Bloomsbury, 2018. $27. 9781681198255

BUYING ADVISORY: EL(K-3) – OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Its time for a thankgiving feast and Vlad’s family shows up. Even though all of Vlad’s friends (from the book by this author: Fright Club) already each have a dish they are making, Vlad’s family members are determined to help. For example Vlad’s Uncle Gus wanted to electrocute the Turkey, which turns it into a crispy pile of ash. Vlad will have to learn an important lesson if he wants to have a good time.

I sort of felt like an outsider since I hadn’t read Fright Club. I also thought it was kind of an odd concept that Vlad wasn’t having Thanksgiving with his family in the first place. I think readers will enjoy the gross foods and the idea of having Halloween characters celebrating a holiday that is unexpected.
