bunnicula
I read the book Bunnicula. It's about a dog named Harold and a cat named Chester. And of course a rabbit named Bunnicula.(not your ordinary cuddley rabbit.) It all started when harold and chester's owners came home from a dracula movie.And the owners didn't come home by themselves. They came with a box with a rabbit in it.They put the rabbit in a cage. They had some trouble nameing the rabbit. But they finally found the name of bunnicula. Probably because of the fact that they found bunnicula at a dracula movie. And they sure picked the right name for him. Chester began to notice that the black spot on Bunnicula looked like a cape. Chester stayed awake to see what bunnicula did at night.(I would of though a rabbit would sleep at night.) Chester noticed that the sly rabbit wasn't in his cage. He heard a noise in the kitchen. The door of the kitchen opened. And guess who was hopping happily out of the kitchen.(That was a sentance from the book.) The next morning all of the veggitables were white. On the third time Bunnicula went out for his midnight snack Chester was prepared. He was trying to starve Bunnicula. Harold yelled at Chester. Bunnicula looked sick.A few days later Harold took Bunnicula out of his cage and lead him to the kitchen. I can't tell the ending because this is an online review. I recommend this book if you like bunny vampires.
Still one of my favorites!
My old copy of "Bunnicula" is old and brittle from being read so many times as a kid, and is still a nostalgic favorite. This book is the first of many about the Monroes, an average family with not-so-average pets. First off there is Harold, the "author" of the book, who is an older mutt and is very gentle and somewhat dimwitted. Next there is Chester, a cat who is partial to reading at night (especially Edgar Allan Poe) and therefore has developed an overactive imagination. At first its just the two of them until the Monroes come home from seeing "Dracula" at the movie theater- who have brought home an abandoned bunny rabbit with them! This bunny is very unusual, with black "cape" markings in its fur, sleeps during the day, and drains all the vegetables in the house of their juice and color! Only Chester suspects Bunnicula is a vampire and sets out in a quest to expose the bunny. This is a great book for little kids as well as older ones, and also good for reading out loud to a kid because its not too long either. The sequels which are essential to this book are "Howliday Inn," "The Celery Stalks at Midnight," and "Nighty Nightmare." Those were some of the first to follow up on "Bunnicula" and therefore the best. This should be given to every child who loves a laugh as well as a thrill at the same time. Enjoy!
We loved this book.
Bunnicula is a very good book because it is funny. In this book a cat can read, a dog can write and a bunny sucks juice out of vegetables. Read this book and you will find out how to get rid of vampires, even bunny vampires. Kids won't like this mystery; they'll love it! If you like animals, you will love this book. So, if you want to find out more, read the book Bunnicula by James and Deborah Howe.
My summary and thoughts of Bunnicula !
Bunnicula was a great book. If I was you I` d read it because it is funny ,scary and, weird. But you will probably like it too! Here` s what I like about it. My favorite character is Bunnicula! My favorite part is when Chester is wearing Mr. Monroe` s shaving towel on his back acting like a vampire .Bunnicula was a really good book!
I loved this series!
When I was a kid, I loved this series. These books have everything - humor, talking animals, mystery, a vampire rabbit... what more could you want? I just found out there are two books in the series I never read. Even though I am in my mid 20's, I still want to get those and read them. Bunnicula is great for kids of all ages.
