This is another book that I can't believe hasn't been read more. The storyline is cute especially with the "ferocious" beast of a dog (practically a puppy). The gross pun worthy food that Oliva Mae and Nana eat bring a smile (or a smirk?) to the face.
This was a fun one that I'd love to read again and is perfect for the Halloween season. This is great for 5-8-year-olds. Whether you read with them or send them off on their own.

I will always always ALWAYS adore a spooky book that involves creepy characters, funny food, social norm juxtapositions and a few puns to garnish!
The menu of feet loaf, snot roast, bunion rings, spaghetti eyeballs, hamboogers and tater toes, chill flea nachos, macaroni & sneeze? BRILLIANT!
I would absolutely love to go to Count Spatula's Bloody Bistro in real life or at the very least, recreate this with my little monsters.
The storyline of juxtaposed social norms of humans/ monsters and the 'Beast' being a puppy, although not entirely original, was well written and packs a lot of laughs.
The illustration style however, really took me out of the story. There are some incredible character designs and fab little hidden details (think table 'legs'/ toilet notices) that work really well for all of the re-reads that this book will inevitably get, but the fuller page designs and in particular, the backgrounds were quite flat and pulled focus from the main imagery.
Overall, I would recommend Count Spatula for those with little monsters who appreciate gross food and funny menus!

My son is obsessed with this new book Count Spatula by @izzybbooks
Count Spatula has a monster restaurant and serves "unique" foods. It great for picky eaters and a good laugh!
My son made his own Count Spatula lunch last week and has been asking to do it again EVERY DAY! (which is awesome since he's such a picky eater!)
I love how fun this book makes trying new foods and the hilarious texts to go along with it!

Funny story. It reminds me of the Hotel Transylvania. There were some puns added and the pictures worked very well. I would recommend.
