Bailey School Kids
The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids is a fun, spooky chapter book series for children. It is written by Marcia T. Jones and Debbie Dadey, with illustrations by John Steven Gurney. The first book, Vampires Don’t Wear Polka Dots, came out in 1990. In each story, the Bailey School kids meet a character who seems ordinary—like a teacher or custodian—who may actually be a monster from myths such as a vampire, werewolf, or dragon. The truth is left unclear, keeping the mystery fun.
There are 83 books in the series, including Super Specials and Holiday Special Editions, a junior chapter book line called Bailey School Kids Jr., and a spin-off series called Bailey City Monsters for grades 2–4. Some early 2000s editions had cover art redone by Nathan Hale.
