In the spooky castle on the hill,
Lived a vampire with fangs so still,
He slept in a coffin all day,
And trudged out at night to play.

The villagers were terrified,
Of this creature that never died,
But the vampire just wanted to have fun,
And maybe catch a glimpse of the sun.

He had a butler who served him well,
And kept his castle under his spell,
But even he couldn't help with the floss,
And the vampire's teeth suffered from loss.

So the dentist came to inspect his smile,
And worked to make it worthwhile,
The vampire was glad to have it done,
And now he could finally have some fun.

So if you see a vampire out at night,
Don't be scared, it'll be all right,
Just remember to brush and floss,
And you'll avoid a scary dental loss.

Reflections

Here are a few questions to ask kids to think about the story:

1. Who was the main character in the story, and what did he like to do at night?
2. What was the problem the vampire faced, and who helped him solve it?
3. Why were the villagers afraid of the vampire, and how did he feel about this?
4. What did the vampire learn from his visit to the dentist, and why is it important to take care of our teeth?
5. How did the story end, and what did the vampire do after his teeth were cleaned?
