Overview

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

With his creamy skin and blissful smile, Frankie Stein seems a delightful baby. In the Munsters-like premise, however, his evident normalcy worries his parents, a green-skinned Frankenstein's monster and his Bride. " 'Oh my,' said his mother. 'He's... cute.' " Frankie soon sprouts "a lock of sun-gold hair" and a clean white tooth. He practices lurching, but "his walk was more of a bounce." His doting parents tint his hair a lurid violet, apply fake warts to his face and outfit him in clunky black shoes-ever mindful of their rogues' gallery of candlelit family portraits-but to no avail. A transparent, goofy ghost and lavender rat smilingly observe the unsuccessful makeover, accenting the sitcom humor. Schaefer (Loose Tooth) capably sets up debut illustrator Atteberry's visual punch lines, while Atteberry casts the tale with slightly bland computer-generated caricatures. Given the predictable gags, the roundish yellow typeface appears undersize and weak on the page; otherwise, the book makes the most of its cartoonish comedy without tilting into anything remotely scary. Ages 5-8. (Sept.)

Children's Literature
Frankie Stein is Mr. and Mrs. Frank N. Stein's new baby boy. They are quite surprised that he is cute instead of scary-looking, as they are. They do their best to help him become scary. His hair is light, so his mother paints it black. When his face looks pink and white, they put stickers that look like bumps on his face. They try to teach him to walk and make noises like a monster. Frankie practices, but he just cannot look or act like his parents, so he decides to be his own kind of scary. He cleans himself up, dresses like a normal kid, and gives his parents a hug and a kiss. After fainting with fright, his parents decide that he is the scariest Stein of all. This scene segues into the perfect ending for this story: Frankie's little sister is born, and she looks a lot like him. The illustrations are delightful with added touches of a little ghost and a mouse in the background. The parents are a shown to be the perfect shade of scary green without looking gruesome. Readers will find this warm-hearted and surprising story to be both intriguing and entertaining. Reviewer: Vicki Foote

Frankie Stein is nothing like his monstrous, green-skinned parents. Instead, he is cute, with a pink face and golden hair. In an effort to make him more like them, Mr. and Mrs. Stein "made faces at him" and "shouted BOO! and "GOTCHA!" To give him a more frightening facade, they paint his blond hair blue, cap his first white tooth with green, and place green "bump stickers" all over his face. Still not finding their child terrifying enough, they teach him to walk stiffly and groan. When that doesn't work, they describe the horrifying attributes of their relatives. In the end, little Frankie discovers his own way of being scary, which frightens even his parents. Purples and greens dominate the illustrations, emphasizing the cartoony creepiness of the Stein house. While little Frankie resembles a round-faced toddler, his parents are reminiscent of, as their last name suggests, Frankenstein's monster. Children are certain to find amusement in this charming story, which also subtly teaches them the importance of individuality. It is certain to be a favorite around Halloween.
