Snap Pictures of a “Vampire Baby” and Win Books for a Library!
The Book
It happens overnight: little sister Tootie goes from cuddly, ga-ga-googoo, I-want-my-ba-ba baby to…vampire baby. Now she’s sinking her pointy fangs into everything — furniture, toys, and especially her big brother. Mom insists that it’s just a phase, but Tootie’s brother knows better. Just look at her hairline! With perfect comic timing, Kelly Bennett and Paul Meisel give a fresh slant to the new-baby story, proving that even monstrous little arrivals have a funny way of staking their siblings’ affections.
The Story Hour Kit
To play with the book’s theme of teething babies and toddlers secretly being vampires, the kit include six different sets of silly vampire lips to cut-out. The lips, placed on an included paper “lip stick”, can be easily held up in front of a baby, toddler, or ADULT’s lips for a funny transformation.
Following the instructions on the “lip stick” your patrons, customers, and families can snap a picture and email it to Vampire Baby author Kelly Bennett for her blog or Facebook page. The privacy of these vampire babies (young and old) is completely protected!
Families send the name and location of their favorite library and Kelly Bennett will select 10 random entered library to receive a collection of her books.
Giveaway expires 11/1/14.
