One night, a vampire flew into town, seeking victims to satisfy his appetite. However, he noticed a bright light and could hear some noise coming from a building, so he decided to find out what was happening. On entering the building, the vampire discovered it was a party, and since the music sounded good, he joined the partiers to dance to the beat. But after some time, the vampire got hot and sweaty, so he took a break outside, leaving his cape in the building.

On getting back into the building to retrieve his cape, the vampire was shocked to find it wasn't where he had kept it. How would he be able to survive as a vampire without a cape? He knew his life would be miserable without it. What is he going to do? Will he ever find his missing cape? I am sure children would love to find out. Thankfully, the answers are in The Vampire's Missing Cape by Steve Stables.

As a kid, I was always intrigued by vampire stories, so you can imagine the nostalgia I felt when I got this book. Mr. Stables did a commendable job of making this story fun to read with his poetic narrations. I recommend reading the book aloud to enjoy the beautiful rhymes that adorn the author's narrations. His writing style perfectly suits the target audience, as I didn't encounter any form of ambiguity that would make the story hard to follow. I also like how he made his narrations suspenseful, and I am sure children would be eager to read the book to the end to find out what happened to the poor vampire.

Furthermore, the illustrations in the book are praiseworthy. They fit the on-page narrations, making the story even more engaging. I found some of them funny, and an example was when the vampire was dancing. Also, the illustrations excellently portrayed the vampire's feelings of despair when he couldn't find his cape, which I think would help children appreciate the story's end even better.

What I love most about the book, though, is the exercise that the author instructs readers to carry out at the beginning of the book. Children would enjoy counting the number of snakes and bats on each page, and I can only imagine the smiles they would have on their faces when their count tallies with the author's count at the end of the book. Teachers, parents, and guardians can use the exercise to sharpen the counting skills of their kids. Thus, I commend the author for making the book entertaining and educational.

Even as an adult, I enjoyed reading The Vampire's Missing Cape and didn't find anything to dislike about it. The book is also exceptionally edited and contains no errors at all. Hence, I am glad to rate it a solid four out of four stars. And I highly recommend it to kids between the ages of three and seven.
