Reach for this book when your child is feeling more mischievous than merry, or if they prefer monsters and bats over sugarplums and reindeer. It is the perfect antidote to overly sugary holiday stories, offering a hilarious, slightly edgy take on Christmas traditions through the eyes of a vampire family. The story follows Little Dracula and his quirky relatives as they hatch a plan to catch Santa Claus. Instead of finding a way to stay on the 'nice' list, they embrace their monstrous nature with glee and curiosity. It is a wonderful choice for children ages 4 to 8 who appreciate 'creepy-cute' aesthetics and slapstick humor. While the characters are vampires, the underlying themes are rooted in family togetherness, the excitement of the holiday, and the universal wonder of Santa's mysterious visits. Parents will appreciate the clever subversion of holiday tropes and the way it validates that there is room for all kinds of personalities at Christmastime.
