Bob the Vampire Snail by Andrea Zuill - ADVISABLE

Bob the Vampire Snail by Andrea Zuill. PICTURE BOOK. Random House Studio, 2025. $19. 9780593814963

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

When Bob the snail gets stomped on, instead of a dead smear, he becomes a vampire snail! Being a vampire snail is not easy.  None of his traditional favorites taste good any more, but the wings are pretty cool. None of the other snails want anything to do with him any more and Bob is worried that he will always be alone. 

I adored watching Bob setting into his new life. Zuill has even included a tiny beetle side character added some tidbits and some snark. Bob is funny rather than being scary.  And he isn’t necessarily only Halloween relatable. Make sure you check out the case wrap.
