Booklist - 05/01/2022 Fang Vladimir Bloodgood the Third has never been quite like other vampires. He likes colorful clothes and doesn’t give a fig about the Vampminster Bat Show. He also can’t stomach the idea of another family trip to Transylvania, so he sets about trying to convince his parents to take a beach vacation instead. He pulls out all the stops, choosing an underwater-adventure film for movie night, putting on a swimwear fashion show with his siblings, and turning the living room into a sandy beach—all to no avail. Finally, poor Fang breaks down and sobs, “I’ll n-n-never feel the salty ocean breeze in my h-h-hair!” At last, his parents give in and are surprised to discover how much they enjoy the beach (after the sun goes down, of course). Kids will enjoy the silly premise of a vampire family going to the beach, and Player takes full advantage of the absurdity in his digital illustrations, tucking in nods to the horror genre amid Fang’s animated coastal campaign. A fun summer read that nudges readers to try new things. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
