I’m a Little Vampire

Fry recasts the nursery rhyme “I’m a Little Teapot” to feature a vampire toddler: “I’m a little vampire, short and stout./ If I don’t get candy, I might pout.” In warm, smudgy-textured illustrations, Rescek gives the vampire bright blue eyes, a wide smile (with tiny fangs), a purple hood, and red cape. He looks the picture of innocence, but this vampire isn’t afraid to shout or scare his way to getting more sweets—an attitude that’s just mischievous enough for Halloween. Simultaneously available: The Itsy Bitsy Pumpkin. Ages 2–4. (Aug.)
