Vampires by Bonnie McMeans

Gr. 4-6. This book in the Mysterious Encounters series has it all: superstitions, sightings, attacks, and all the facts that explain the many questions people have about this mysterious creature. The author provides historical information that helps set the back drop necessary for understanding the emergence of vampire lore and superstition. Accounts of specific attacks and sightings are included in this book as are numerous pictures and sidebars that contain brief facts. Included is a glossary, index, bibliography, and suggestions for further reading.

The reading level for this book is a little lower than Gr. 4-6, but due to the subject matter I believe this book is more appropriate for children in Gr. 4-6. Many of the pictures are graphic and may scare younger children.
