Buffy the Vampire Slayer made into a picture book... I LOVED it!!! Definitely more for the Buffy fan adults reading to their children, but I still loved it!

This is so cute!! Obviously, it’s not canon, but long-time Buffy fans will get a kick out of what Buffy finds when she confronts the “monster” in her closet. So glad this book was created - brought a smile to my face!!

Might be cute for a child, but as someone who knows the story - there's no way Buffy had sleepovers at 8 years old with Willow and Xander since she didn't move to Sunnydale and met them until high school.. but the art was really cute!

I don't normally post children's books, but this one is just too cute not to! Buffy is afraid of what's in her closet! Uh-oh!

Of course it’s getting 5 stars!! This is the first kids book I’ve been genuinely excited about. Buffy is a show that has meant so much to me, so much so that it will forever be my all-time favourite tv show. When I first saw this book this morning at work, I teared up a bit (yes I’m an emotional mess!). It was so adorable as well!! I’m all for introducing kids and people of all ages to my favourite superhero; Buffy Summers!!

This just came in new at work and being a Buffy fan, I had to read it before putting it out on the shelves.

It is so stinking cute! I love little Buffy, Willow, and Xander and the storyline is very sweet and not at all scary for little ones. The illustrations are gorgeous and each character resembles the actor that plays them quite well.

I'd love to see this turned into a picture book series as it's a great way to get kids started on a kick butt role model like Buffy without too much of the scary stuff!

This book has two distinct audiences: young readers and Buffy fans. It has plenty to offer both!

Buffy fans will see familiar characters and monsters. For the young readers, it introduces a tough young girl who, in spite of that, has an all too common fear: fear of the dark. It also sneaks in little asides to help them pronounce names like "Giles" and "Xander" on their own!

Definitely recommend to Buffy fans with or without children (I personally fall into the latter category!), or parents whose child might be a little afraid of the dark :)

This non-scary picture book is a cute addition to the world of Buffy. It’s the perfect way to introduce the next generation to a kickass character. The creative team even made The Gentlemen adorable! I loved the story and the art - highly recommend the the little (or big!) Buffy fan in your life!

Okay, this book is adorable!

Buffy was my absolute favourite show growing up and while this book may not be canon, there are enough nostalgic easter eggs to keep the grown-ups happy while reading the cute story to children.

Oh, and the illustrations are beautiful too!
