emilyctrigg 's review for:

The Vampire's Missing Cape by Steve Stables
1.0

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an advanced copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.

Honestly, I really just didn't like this book. I felt like the rhymes and the story were super childish, but at the same time, the content about dance clubs and some of the illustrations (including nudity!) were super adult and not really for children. I am so confused about the audience for this book. Is it for children? Is it one of those "funny" books that parents are supposed to enjoy reading to kids?

The art in this book was like it was made in MS paint. Sometimes a silly story can be boosted by phenomenal art, but this is NOT one of those cases.

Overall, I thought this book was dumb and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
