For fans of Creepy Crayons, Vampurr is a spooky and hilarious picture book about an adopted vampire kitty who finds the perfect home. A fangtastically commercial offering! MEET VAMPURR... Her fur shines blacker than a raven’s feathers. Her eyes glow greener than a witch’s brew. But most unusual of all are her long, needle-sharp fangs. Born among tombstones beneath the blood moon's light, a vampire kitten longs to find a loving home like her adopted siblings. But her unusual appearance and abilities send visitors fleeing the cemetery in fright. Until one night, an eerie fog rolls in, bringing with it an unexpected new friend. Vampurr is a laugh-out-loud funny picture book that celebrates people loving you just the way you are.
