Below is a fun book in the Usborne Rhyming Stories series of books called The Fangtastic Adventures of Dracula's Dentures by Philip Hawthorn and Kim Blundell. It is definitely a great book for Halloween.

From the back cover:

In Transylvania there's a town.

By the name of Vampton-on-the Down.

Above the town a castle sits

With Turrets, moat and pointy bits...

Philip Hawthorn's hilarious narrative verse is both inventive and easy-to-read, and is matched in wit and vitality by Kim Blundell's lively illustrations. Read it to yourself of read it aloud, if you dare, and find out what happens when Countess Dracula is left with the fangless task of terrorizing the town while the Count takes a vacation.
