Children's Book Review: Count Spatula by Izzy B.

So today is my last day of kindle unlimited (bought three months when they had the prime day deal). So I wanted to squeeze in one more book. I wanted another under the radar book and I wanted it to be perfect for October. So I was happy to discover this book.

The Bloody Bistro serves all manner of monsters and ghouls. But one day a most terrifying monster wanders in. So scary is this beast that they trap it in the bathroom. Soon Olivia Mae and her Nana show up looking for their lost dog. Hungry they feast on some gruesome foods served by Count Spatula himself.

This is another book that I can't believe hasn't been read more. The storyline is cute especially with the "ferocious" beast of a dog (practically a puppy). The gross pun worthy food that Oliva Mae and Nana eat bring a smile (or a smirk?) to the face. This was gruesome and funny. 

The drawings were great. One of my favorites was of a zombie at the end of the book dressed as a suburban soccer mom. This was a fun one that I'd love to read again and is perfect for the Halloween season. This is great for 5-8-year-olds. Whether you read with them or send them off on their own.

I give this a ghoulishly fun 4 out of 5 stars.
