Many of my students are immigrants, and their families bring their own rich and layered cultural traditions with them to this country. In the second Vampirina book, I know my students will make these same types of connections, but this time centered on family. They always make text-to-self connections about times when they felt different from their peers. But the more kids hear or read the book and examine the detail in the illustrations, the more they glean from the story. My students love Vampirina, and the first read-through with them is always a delight. The Vampirina books are the kind that offer something different each time you read them. I promise you will fall in love with this ballet-loving vampire who just wants to fit in. And worse of all… STAGE FRIGHT!!!īefore Vampirina can host her very first sleepover there are a few things she must keep in mind: be polite and offer her guests food (like blood pudding) plan some games like scavenger hunt (but keep the clues simple so no one gets lost) and don’t forget to dance! Vampirina may be a little nervous at first, but by following a few simple rules she will host the Best Sleepover Ever. Then you have to figure out how to perfect your form when you can’t see yourself in the mirror? And then there’s wearing pink (not the most flattering of colors if you happen to be undead) and that nagging urge to take a little nip out of the other dancers. First of all, you have to find a class that meets at night. Oh, to be a ballerina! It’s a challenge for any little girl, but even more so if you happen to be a vampire like Vampirina. Here’s the description of the first Vampirina book: (If you haven’t met Vampirina yet, then get thee to a bookstore!) Today Biblio Links welcomes picture book author Anne Marie Pace! Anne Marie’s fourth picture book was released this summer to rave reviews, and it is guaranteed to make Vampirina Ballerina fans squeal with delight.
