Vampire Baby

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Paul Meisel. A boy describes his baby sister's transformation from cute-and-cuddly tot to "Vampire Baby." He tries to give her away to a nice vampire family, but, satisfyingly, he ends up baring his own teeth to defend his little sis. Bennett's humorous conversational text plays to realism (i.e., Tootie is a normal teething baby) while Meisel's clean-lined mixed-media illustrations agreeably maintain the baby-as-vampire conceit.
