"The witty digital illustrations will have kids chuckling . . . This twist on the bedtime tale will induce giggles—and, maybe, some reflection about kids’ own bedtime-stalling tactics . . . Children will stay wide awake, day or night, to finish this funny sleepy-time story." —<i>Kirkus</i><br /><br />"[A] reassuring take on bedtime anxieties. Chua’s zingy digital art does double duty . . . The tandem print and visual through lines allow for an engaging blend of outlandish and ordinary. Mama’s soothing, consistent presence—even while sporting Medusa-like snake hair curlers—permeates all." —<i>Publishers Weekly</i>
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.

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.
