Things That Go Bump In The Day

Written by Melinda Beatty. Illustrated by Charlene Chua.


The sun is out and it's time for vampire Vlad to go to bed, but it's easier said than done with all the creepy, creaky daytime noises that keep him (and his mother) from getting a good day's rest.

Synopsis

Vampire Vlad is all tucked in, ready for bed. But his imagination runs wild when he hears all the daytime noises happening outside. A clickety-clack, a skreek and a clang? Who knows what that could be!

With each new sound, Vlad races to his patient and reassuring, but tired mama's room until he learns how to calm himself down and finally get a good day's rest. Melinda Beatty's clever text and award-winning illustrator Charlene Chua's imaginative illustrations make the perfect bedtime read (during the day or night) for anyone a little nervous to go to bed.
