Content Ratings

No Romance
There is no romantic content; relationships are based on friendship between classmates.
Light Themes
The children's imaginations run wild but they learn to appreciate their teacher; themes of not judging by appearances and the humor of childhood speculation are central; the tone is consistently funny and warm.
No Violence
There is no violence; the 'vampire' suspicions are played entirely for comedy and the teacher is ultimately kind; the tone is humorous rather than scary.
