Vampires and Veggies

(4) 1-3 Monster Heroes series. Illustrated by Dave Bardin. Four do-gooder monsters--a shy ghost, a beet-juice-drinking vampire, a tofu-eating zombie, and a curse-reversing witch--are loosely joined up in cheesy episodes meant to encourage early readers. The print is large, the chapters are short, and each story's lightweight problem is quickly solved by the "superheroes." Full-color illustrations ensure these characters seem silly rather than scary. Questions and writing prompts are appended. Glos. Review covers the following Monster Heroes titles: The Ghost Trap and Vampires and Veggies.
