A Vampire is NOT a Pet by Lexi Rees #Review
Yasmin REALLY wants a pet. A cat, a dog—she’d even settle
for a snake. After all, there’s hardly anything Yasmin is afraid of… unless you
count ghosts, zombies, monsters, and maybe custard. But Velma wasn’t the pet
Yasmin expected. For starters, there are the fangs. And, well… she’s a vampire.
From classroom chaos and dental disasters to a blood bank heist (don’t ask), the world’s worst cow impressions (really don’t ask), and a Halloween party wild enough to wake the dead, Yasmin and Velma are about to have the time of their (after)lives.
As the mayhem piles up, Yasmin starts to wonder… could a vampire be the most fang-tastic pet ever?
This chapter book is ideal for young readers who enjoy a story with humour and a central character they can relate to. There are plenty of puns and jokes in the story which will also keep any adults who are reading aloud amused. Many children long to have a pet and Yasmin is no different. What is different is the nature of the pet she gets! With Hallowe'en and Christmas getting a mention, it feels just right for this time of year. The illustrations highlight moments in the story without distracting from the written text.
Cat and Mouse say: ... run!
