Most Entertaining
A Vampire Is Not A Pet by Lexi Rees is a most entertaining novel that is perfect for ages eight years and over. Whatever your age, this book will amuse you.
There is the repetition that Velma is not a pet running throughout. This enables the child you are reading to, to join in at various times.
The story is set from one December 25th to another. Throughout the year, Velma and her human get into various scrapes – especially when her human forgets the rules! Situations include eating garlic; forgetting Velma’s food on a camping trip; a Halloween party; a trip to the dentist and much more. The situations are amusing and will make the adults reading the tale aloud, giggle too.
A Vampire Is Not A Pet has a unique storyline. I am hoping for more stories about Velma as she is a rather cute vampire! The illustrations are cute too.
This book would enhance any children’s library or junior children’s classroom.
I received a free copy via Rachel’s Random Resources for a blog tour. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.

A vampire is NOT a pet
Yasmin REALLY wants a pet. A cat, a dog—she’d even settle for a snake. After all, there’s hardly anything Yasmin is afraid of… unless you count ghosts, zombies, monsters, and maybe custard. But Velma wasn’t the pet Yasmin expected. For starters, there are the fangs. And, well… she’s a vampire.
From classroom chaos and dental disasters to a blood bank heist (don’t ask), the world’s worst cow impressions (really don’t ask), and a Halloween party wild enough to wake the dead, Yasmin and Velma are about to have the time of their (after)lives.
As the mayhem piles up, Yasmin starts to wonder… could a vampire be the most fang-tastic pet ever?
