Blood! Not Just a Vampire Drink (Hardcover)
From Stacy McAnulty, author of the entertaining and informative STEM picture book series Our universe, which includes Earth! My First 4.54 Billion Years, and Mars! Earthlings Welcome, comes an exciting picture book series focused on the science of the body. First up was Brains! Not Just a Zombie Snack, and now we have Blood! Not Just a Vampire Drink, with illustrations by Shawna J. C. Tenney, author-illustrator of Pirates Don't Dance!
Welcome to I Don’t Vant to Suck Your Blood Smoothie Shop, where all products are 100% blood-free!
That’s good news for humans, but bad news for a thirsty vampire who just wants a pint of O-positive. With a little help from a friend, he’ll realize that blood isn’t a beverage. Humans need it! Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients, helps fight off infections, and so much more. So grab Blood! Not Just a Vampire Drink and a pineapple-spinach smoothie, and find out why blood is such a fabulous fluid.
Shawna J. C. Tenney wonders if having type A+ blood helps her to make A+ artwork (hey, it’s possible! Okay, probably not). When she isn’t draining the life out of chocolate bars, she can be found in her studio creating stories like her author-illustrated picture books, Pirates Don’t Dance! and Brunhilda’s Backwards Day. She lives in Utah with her two kids, two cats, and one husband.
"Entertaining and informative." —Kirkus
"Accessible text and art balance lightly macabre humor with clear information, making the biology lesson easy to swallow..." —Hornbook
