Monsters Party All Night Long

By Adam Lane

Count Dracula's fame has spread far and wide. But, alas, he has no friends! Perhaps a party will solve his problem. From disco werewolves to zany zombies, a wild collection of crazy creatures descend upon Count Drac's castle for a party like no other. Debut author-artist Adam Lane has created a fiendishly clever book that will appeal to children and grown-ups alike. The silly text pairs wonderfully with the sensational three-dimensional illustrations. Fun to read aloud and filled with humor, it all adds up to a monstrously good time.

Customer Reviews

Teacher and Mom...and I LOVE this book!!

I bought this book on a clearance shelf of all places last year for my 3 yr old son. It is one of his favorites! I also shared it with my Third Grade class and they enjoyed it as my as my son! Great illustrations as well as a wonderful rhyming/rapping beat that works for all ages. I loved it so much I bought an extra copy to keep in school!

Not a scary monster book

I bought this for my 3yr old for Halloween and she loved it. The pictures are great and like other reviewers she's sad about the Count having no friends. I love it when children's books have a chuckle in them for the parent and this one certainly does.

Endlessly Enjoyable

This is one of those rare books that my three year old daughter requests over and over again at story time. "Read me the Monster book," she asks several times per week before snuggling into her bed. Something about this book grabs her attention and holds onto it better than her other books. She feels bad that count Drac has no friends at the beginning and wants his party to be a big success. She loves to look at the silly bats, mummies, and cyclops as they make their way to the party. The zombies are wonderfully, "Yucky." She worries over poor Frankenstein, who has a cold. But, her favorite is the disco dancing wolfman. "He's almost as hairy as you, Dad," she laughs. (I look better in a leisure suit, though.) The claymation figures are interesting to look at, the language is rythmic and the story of a monster party is just plain fun. This repeatedly requested book earns a five star rating at my house. I hope your kids like it, too.

A frightfully wonderful book!

This picture book follows the story of lonely Count Dracula and his attempt to make new friends at a party. The writing is rhythmic and fun to read aloud, and the claymation artwork is spectacular! There are visions to make both the young and the old laugh out loud! I have yet to read it to anyone who hasn't squealed with delight!

very imaginative children's book

This is a very appealing book. Extremely well drawn, with charming drawings and very entertaining text. A very good gift for children. Nice for adults too.
