A cute story about a vampire whose family unexpectedly arrives for Thanksgiving dinner and accidentally gets carried away with the festivity prep.

Oh family. I am thankful that mine has relatively little drama. But not the case for our friend Vladimir. They kind of mess up his Thanksgiving. (Who wants to eat snail spit? Even if you are a vampire?!)

I really enjoy this book! Especially how it is all about coming together! ( )

Cute read for that time between Halloween and Thanksgiving. The monsters are gathering for Thanksgiving dinner, each making his/her own contribution to the meal. Vladimir the vampires family drives up unexpectedly and changes everything (no garlic in mashed potatoes, the Turkey needs to be cooked differently, etc). The meal is a bust before being eaten by the dog. But Vladimir remembers this is family! So they do a do over with the family refining it in a little. The meal is different than expected but it is representative of everyone (the Turkey shaped corn dog stack makes me laugh). In the end, they are all grateful.

The pictures are cute. The color scheme is muted, like an enhanced sepia tone, giving it an old fashioned/evening vibe ( )

Fangsgiving comes after halloween. It is important to remember that family is family and you must be patient and forgiving. Even if they ruin Thanksgiving. But with some love and understanding everything will turn out all right. A fun book for a holiday that should be more fun.

The Fright Club is looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with each other and enjoying all of the delicious dishes that they will whip up. Vlad is super excited. He has an unexpected surprise when his family shows up and takes over. Now the rolls are as hard as headstones and the turkey gets cooked to death! Can they all get together and find the true meaning of the holiday before it is ruined? This is a funny book that would make a great read aloud for any age. The characters are colorful and witty and I would recommend this for any collection especially if the other titles are owned. ( )
