Dracula and Frankenstein are friends. They have good times together, but when Dracula decides to have a Halloween party on the same day as Frankenstein's, their friendship is put to the test. Clever Dracula must decide if popularity is worth the price of his most important friendship, with mild-mannered Frankenstein.
These two classic characters have been re-created in this funny and revealing picture book, just right for the youngest of monsters!

Katherine Tegen has been writing stories since she was ten years old. She has always loved celebrating holidays and anything to do with magic. She is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Story of the Easter Bunny, illustrated by Sally Anne Lambert and praised by School Library Journal: "This visually splendid story with folktale rhythms makes a good choice for holiday sharing." She lives in New York City.
PreSchool-Grade 2-When shy Frankenstein decides to have a Halloween party, tricky Dracula jumps on the idea and declares he'll have one as well. In a particularly mean moment, he steals all of Frankenstein's invitations, and on the day of the party, his house is full of costumed monsters while Frankenstein sits alone among his carved and lighted pumpkins. When Dracula glimpses his friend waiting patiently for guests who will never arrive, he has an abrupt change of heart and takes the party next door. Cushman's buoyant, colorful cartoons are full of funny details like Dracula's bat pj's and a mummy's pyramid house. For libraries looking for additional light reading with a hint of spookiness, the story of these unusual friends will find a ready audience.
