In 1999, Nadia Budde's first picture book was released: "One Two Three Animal" - celebrated as a stroke of genius, adorned with prestigious awards, and has long since become a classic. The author and publisher agreed: it was high time for a sequel, preferably one with a bite! "One Two Three Vampire" brings forth all sorts of dangerous characters, always three of a kind, and then as a surprise, a fourth one that is responsible for the rhyme - and for the start of a new trio series. By the way, there's no need to worry about the child’s soul: the skeletons, tarantulas, sharks, and wasps in this board book are about as frightening as the three-year-old ghosts timidly knocking on our door at Halloween.
