Okay, let me say up front I really like vampires. Even if, lately, I've developed a keen fondness for Zombies, I still have an undeniable soft spot for a rakish vampire or two (a la Anne Rice-sorry Twilight fans). I also should mention that I really like anything educational for children that makes it fun for them. So, when I saw that there was a vampire all poised and ready to explain the basics of life/biology well, the pun was not lost on me. It's a clever and cute way to teach kids a little bit of how the world functions in an engaging and easily accessible format. I stand by that assessment and I wholeheartedly love that there are authors out there interested and willing to put out this sort of material. However, this reviewer, does almost all her reading on a Kindle and unfortunately this book did not fair well in the translation. I do believe that as a physical book it is probably wonderful.
