A Vampire Is Not A Pet by Lexi Rees

Oct28

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.
