More Zany fun from Vlad the tiny vegetarian vampire. In Vlad the Drac returns, Vlad comes back to England to pursue his career and chooses to stay in an expensive hotel. But the guests feel uncomfortable being under the same roof as a Vampire, even though as vegetarian Vlad faints at the sight of blood! He then moves in with Paul and and Judy but things go awfully wrong when he gets shut in the fridge, falls in the food mixer and is then Vladnapped!

In this third story about the diminutive vegetarian vampire, Vlad the Drac fulfills his ambition to star in a horror film when Malcolm Meilberg, the world-famous American producer, offers Vlad a part in his new flick, Marauding Monsters of the Outer Galaxy. But when Vlad discovers that he has only one line in the film, his outrage knows no bounds and a melee—with a touch of movie magic—ensues.

An original take on the classic fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, this account follows the adventures of Lucy Jones and the wolf. When Lucy in her red anorak meets the wolf in the forest, she has a hard time convincing him that she is not Red Riding Hood. The hilarious story that follows turns stereotypes on their heads. This modernized classic helps to educate children by introducing such wide-ranging topics as war, friendship, community, and the ethics of zoos.
