Children's Literature
This clever book is presented as the journal/scrapbook of the fictional Count Dracula. It's written in the first person, as if Dracula had been a real person (thing)! It begins with his family tree, goes on to memories of school days, letters home from school, pictures of school days, and ends with an unexpected surprise. It's creatively illustrated with whimsical cartoon drawings, and the whole book is tongue-in-cheek humor. Definitely for the monster-freak.
