My daughter fell in love with the movie and she loves books so we just had to get this. Very funny.

I from Germany and i got my first Little Vimpire Book from my Goodmother. I can just say it was one of the books of my life. And i have all the books from the story of the littel vampire. So I also bought that one wich i have to say it is allright but by fare not so good then the original once. Its still worth to buy and read it even when u r over 20 years or older u will love the stories of the littel Vampire
Read the Original it's always better!

In German, the Little Vampire series is wonderful, a story of friendship that is literally beyond the grave. I have not read the English translation, but can tell you the book as Sommer-Bodenburg wrote it is much better than the movie. Reading the children's literature of a country is a great window into the country itself, and also a great way to practice your German if you are rusty.
my friend the vampire is the greatest!
