review 1: A funny and entertaining tale of a vampire family with werewolves as new neighbors, this book is written from a child vampire complaining in letters to his grandfather, Vampa. The two families are very opposite. The werewolves are awake all day, making too much noise for the poor vampires who want to sleep so they can be up all night. Kids love the story and giggle throughout this great read-aloud. This is also really cute to read around Halloween, but connections could be made throughout the year.
review 2: Author: Ross Collins Publisher and Date: Katherine Tegan Books, 2009Summary: Bram, a young vampire, write a letter to his Grandfather about his new neighbors the Wolfsons. The Pire family are not fond of their new neighbors and find them to be quite odd. Pe... morerhaps the new neighbors are not as different as Bram suggests they are. Review: Using supernatural elements of vampires, sleeping in coffins, avoiding daylight and having a monster for a pet, Ross Collins shares a story that is not that far off from reality. This would be a fun story to read aloud to kids because of the ironic ending. If only Bram and his family could figure it out, the neighbors have some supernatural lifestyles as well. I would talk to students about judging people who look different before taking the time to get to know them. This is a humorous story with a good lesson for children! less
