Vampire Jam Sandwich

48 pp. | Tundra | July, 2025 | Trade ISBN 9781774883464 $18.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nici Gregory. A bow tie–clad narrator, complete with flashlight under chin, relates a creative, funny-spooky tale about a strawberry jam sandwich being sampled by a vampire (“the vampire probably thought the jam was...something else”) and turning into a “vampire jam sandwich.” Digitally finished pencil illustrations — mostly sepia tones but with well-used pops of red — reflect the framing device of the narrator, later shown with pointy fangs and vampire cape, scamming jam from wide-eyed, unsuspecting children. It’s a silly premise with a humorous execution.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
