Vunce Upon a Time

Description

This delightful picture book from the creator of "Olive the Other Reindeer" introduces us to a new character: Dagmar, a shy, vegetarian vampire. Even more than he likes vegetables, Dagmar loves candy. And when he hears about all the treats he can get on Halloween, he knows he has to be brave and venture out into the human world. What follows is an eye-opening night of trick-or-treating in which Dagmar faces his fears, and his courage is rewarded with much more than a bag of sweets!

J.otto Seibold has illustrated, and in some cases also written, 15 books for children, including Olive, the Other Reindeer; Penguin Dreams; and the Mr. Lunch books. He lives in San Francisco. Siobhan Vivian once raced electric go-karts with J.otto Seibold, and thankfully, neither of them was seriously injured. Her first novel for young adults came out in March 2008. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
