In this hilarious and heartwarming picture book, join Bob the vampire snail as he embraces his unique love of tomatoes, discovers new and peculiar sleeping talents, and forms an unexpected friendship.
“A work that young readers can sink their teeth into.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
Did you know all snails are named Bob? It’s a fact! And this is the story of one of those Bobs and the night his life changed forever. First, he heard a SCREAM… then a C-R-A-C-K… and then he felt a drip, drip, drip… and then, poof! He was a vampire snail.
Fangs? Check. No reflection? Check. Wings? You bet. And so Bob, now very different from all the other Bobs, sets out to live life as a vampire snail, discovering his knack for sleeping upside down and his taste for tomatoes. He’s alone in his vampire-ness, until one day Bob meets someone very similar….
Endearing and laugh-out-loud funny, this is a story about individuality, friendship, and tomatoes, as only beloved creator Andrea Zuill can tell it.
