review 1: Oh, how I wish this story had focused on the lives of Vampire Boy and his Witch friend in their charming, humorous, delightfully vampire-y and witch-y houses. I thought the Bela (vampire family) mansion was just so hilarious with the proper butler (with a band-aid on his neck from a vampire bite, haha!) and the little nuances in the decorations was just great. The witch's bedroom is fun, too, and her supply of literature was a neat little touch ("The Crucible" and "The Witch of Blackbird Pond", for example). They set off to find some children because young Bela wants to see them, but the witch says children don't really exist. Such a cute set up! Alas, the bulk of the story is very ho-hum and takes us to familiar territory of a children's Halloween party. The story l... moreost its unique appeal here and the illustrations just couldn't bring up the rather dull writing style.
review 2: Just received my copy of this children's book from Goodreads! This was a cute Halloween story about a little witch and a young vampire who set out on Halloween night to look for real children, whom they cannot quite believe really exist. They end up at a children's costume party and get to see first-hand what "real" children look like.I liked the illustrations in the story. I thought they were nicely drawn with a lot of details, and I liked the color scheme throughout the story.Although I would read this book at home with my own children, I would probably not recommend this one for a classroom teacher. It was a little too "Halloween" and not so much "cute pumpkins and fall harvest," if you know what I mean. It just depends on what you are looking for in a Halloween story. Overall, I enjoyed the picture book and think most children will, too! less
