Glory on Ice: A Vampire Hockey Story by Maureen Fergus and Mark Fearing - ADVISABLE

Glory on Ice: A Vampire Hockey Story
by Maureen Fergus and Mark Fearing.
PICTURE BOOK Alfred A. Knopf (Penguin Random House), 2020. $18. 9781524714512 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Vlad the Vampire is bored with his regular routine, so he heads t the community center for some activity, Hockey offers pounding, crushing and destroying, so Vlad signs up. But studying up and watching Hockey is different than getting on the ice himself. 

A great story about practicing hard and teamwork. The illustrations are really cute (Vlad's team is all little kids) and while it doesn't address the scary vampire elements, immortality and lots of gold play a big part. I really liked this, a cute sports book with a darling comic angle.
