I'm a Zcary Vampire by Jose Carlos Andres, illustrated by Gomez - ADVISABLE

I'm a Zcary Vampire by Jose Carlos Andres, illustrated by Gomez, PICTURE BOOK Nubeocho, 2020, $17. 9788417673857 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

When the littlest vampire is too small to scare even a little girl, he is worried. The next day is his big scare test and he's going to need some help to pull it off. If he doesn't scare someone he will have to go to Banana Peeler School! 

What a funny story! The illustrations are creative yet childlike.  My grandchildren adored this book. They wanted to talk like the little vampire and practiced big "scares". Translated from Spanish, I have to wonder if the adorable "mock" Eastern European accent (just switch out your S for a Z) works in other languages, too. This will be an hilarious read aloud.
