In a dark, dusty library full of cobwebs, a little ghost just stumbled upon a book on the shelves. What the ghost doesn’t realize is that Dracula’s portrait on the wall has come to life around the corner. What’s going to happen next? Will the black cat give the tiny ghost a heads-up about it?

An illustration of a squirrel wearing a sweater and scarf, carrying acorns in his arms, and two balanced on his nose. He looks panic stricken and is struggling to keep them balanced while walking. It’s autumn and there are many acorns and leaves scattered on the ground. Two other squirrels are in the distance looking at the squirrel in the foreground.
