Spooky Friends
Author(s): Jane Feder

Can a vampire and a mummy learn to share?

Scarlet is a feisty little Vampire, and her best friend, Igor, is a roly-poly little Mummy. Together, they star in three humorous, heartwarming stories about two friends who never agree on anything. That is -- until they discover different ideas can become even better ideas when they cooperate!


Review(s):
Praise for SPOOKY FRIENDS:"Feder masterfully employs repetition of the more challenging words throughout the perfectly paced text, while Downing charmingly captures every mercurial emotion in the detailed ballpoint pen, watercolor and digital illustrations. Move over, Frog and Toad, to make room for this delightful new title." -- KIRKUS REVIEWS"Plenty of repetition, picture clues, and extensive spacing between lines make this an ideal choice for beginning readers. . . ." -- BULLETIN OF THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS"Colored font depicts heightened emotions while warm-hued, playful illustrations entertain emerging readers and provide ample context for comprehension and fluency. This is a great selection for those looking for delightful rather than frightful Halloween books, titles on friendship, or general early-reader collections." -- SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

School Library Journal

This tale of friendship unfolds in three short stories written with simple phrases and strong dialogue. Youngsters will laugh as "spooky friends" -- Scarlet, a green, pigtailed vampire (complete with pet bat), and Igor, a tubby mummy -- find solutions to their capricious disagreements: "If Igor wanted to read, Scarlet wanted to sing. If Scarlet wanted to nap, Igor wanted to dance." Characters mirror preschoolers' emotional understanding of friendship and each of the stories provides a lighthearted plot as Scarlet and Igor learn that no matter what disagreements ensue, working things out together is even better. Colored font depicts heightened emotions while warm-hued, playful illustrations entertain emerging readers and provide ample context for comprehension and fluency. This is a great selection for those looking for delightful rather than frightful Halloween books, titles on friendship, or general early-reader collections. (Pre-K to Grade 1)
