English - “Vampenguin”

Published also in: n/a

"Vampenguin" by Lucy Ruth Cummins is a delightfully witty picture book that follows the Dracula family on a zoo outing where their youngest swaps places with a penguin. The humor shines through a clever disconnect between the deadpan text and the lively illustrations, revealing a hidden narrative of mischief only the reader catches. Cummins’ vibrant gouache and colored pencil artwork enhances the charm, with subtle details—like the oblivious parents and perceptive zoo animals—adding layers of fun. While the story is simple and doesn’t delve deeply into its quirky premise, it’s a playful, engaging read perfect for ages 3-6, blending vampire tropes with zoo-day antics in a fresh, amusing way.
