Things that Go Bump in the Day Summary

Things that Go Bump in the Day by Melinda Beatty

Vampire Vlad is all tucked in, ready for bed. But his imagination runs wild when he hears all the daytime noises happening outside. A clickety-clack, a skreek and a clang? Who knows what that could be! With each new sound, Vlad races to his patient and reassuring, but tired mamas room until he learns how to calm himself down and finally get a good days rest. Melinda Beattys clever text and award-winning illustrator Charlene Chuas imaginative illustrations make the perfect bedtime read (during the day or night) for anyone a little nervous to go to bed.
