The Sleepless Little Vampire

(3) PS One night a little vampire in his graveyard bed can't sleep. He blames his fellow creatures--flitting bats ("FLAPPITY!--FLAP!"), crawling cockroaches ("SCRATCHITY--SCRATCH!"), etc.--until he remembers that he's nocturnal: "Don't you see? / It wasn't bedtime yet for me." Despite the ghoulish milieu, kids will have nothing to fear from the rhythmic, noise-filled story with ink and watercolor illustrations of cartoony monsters.
