Items related to Vampirina at the Beach-Vampirina Ballerina
When the summer moon is full, a beach trip is an epic way to spend the night. With her signature poise, Vampirina and her clan gear up for a festive time at the beach. Keeping her ballet lessons in mind, Vampirina demi-pliés on a surfboard, leaps for a volleyball, and finishes each competition with style, even if she doesn't always come out on top. Readers will shout "Brava!" for this third gracefully ghoulish picturebook by duo Anne Marie Pace and LeUyen Pham. Praise for Vampirina Ballerina

From School Library Journal:
LeUyen Pham (www.leuyenpham.com) is the prolific and bestselling illustrator of many books for children, including Grace for President by Kelly DiPucchio, Freckleface Strawberry by Julianne Moore and God's Dream by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Pham has also written and illustrated her own works, including All the Things I Love About You and Big Sister, Little Sister. A former animator for Dreamworks, she lives with her husband and two sons in Los Angeles.
PreS-Gr 2—Pace and Pham have combined their talents to create another mesmerizing story of Vampirina. It's time for Moon Monster Madness, so all the monster families head to the beach for a night of fun. The watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations bring the summer festival to life (or should that be undeath?). The protagonist's tips combine her optimistic outlook with her love of ballet. For instance, she says in a game of volleyball, "You must leap high, stay light on your toes, and always hit your mark." Vampirina's advice for beachgoers is always positive but never cloying. Vampirina and her friend try everything from surfing to building sand castles. Their participation in an underwater treasure hunt is depicted on a rich spread of blues and greens, filled with pops of color from pink starfish, purple coral, and the big red X that marks the spot. Pham's artwork delicately depicts nighttime scenes without making them appear gloomy or frightening. The four-page foldout of the dance contest is a feast for the eyes and shares some good advice: "Whether or not you come out on top, finishing with grace is what makes you a real winner." This is a story that will be read and reread, with new details springing out of the illustrations each time. VERDICT Perfect for existing fans of Vampirina and newcomers to this feisty character and her nocturnal world. A sublime seasonal storytime selection.—Suzanne Costner, Fairview Elementary School, Maryville, TN
