Did you know James & Deborah Howe didn't write Bunnicula?Sure, their names are on the title, but the manuscript was actually dropped off at their door by the story's narrator, Harold the dog.<--it was a lot easier to get away with this back in 1979In his own words, Harold describes what happened to the Monroe house after a fluffy baby bunny appeared in their home. The tale mainly revolves around his long-time feline friend, Chester, who endeavors to prove that Bunnicula is a vampire while...

This ended up being so much cuter than I was expecting. I loved the banter between the dog and the cat. There were so many comedic moments between the two! Definitely not as spooky as I was hoping it'd be, but I loved the mystery that unfolded and the sweet ending.

This is a recommendation from Goodreads.Because you enjoyed The Treadstone Resurrection: So here I am! 🐰🧛‍♂️I'm pretty happy with this recommendation from GR! This is nothing like Treadstone (Bourne Universe) obviously. It cracks me up when I saw the recommendation so I had to check it out.Bunnicula is a children's book about the Monroe family who brought home a bunny they found at a movie theatre. Their dog Harold and cat Chester aren't happy with the new member and after finding fruits and v...

Another fun time reading a classic and nostalgia filled book to my kids!Probably the best part of the experience was when it came to sharing my progress on Goodreads and the wide array of responses I got. Everything from, “Wow, I haven’t read this in years! I was one of my favorites!” to, “WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU READING!” I mean, it is a book about a vampire bunny and if you saw the cover come across your feed, and you had never heard of it, you might have had a similar shocked reaction!I did enj...

A sweet little horror book that isn’t really a horror book 😉

A super-fun read-aloud for Grade 3 students! Makes you wonder - is the bunny a vampire, or not?

I haven’t read this book in probably 30 years or so. I’m happy to report that it’s still delightful and a great read-along with kiddos.

Though I could have done without the special edition scratch-n-sniff bunny droppings cover.

(This review is from 2004.)Since it’s Halloween, I thought I’d talk about something frightening: Bunnies. Vampire bunnies. Ninja vampire bunnies. Okay, so, maybe not that ninja part. But definitely vampire bunnies—one in particular.So, my roommate (Mr. “I’m not in there!” from the other week) was recently given a collection of young adult books as a birthday present. Most of the stack didn’t interest me, but I did notice one specific volume in the pile. I remember reading Bunnicula as a child, a...

Hear me out: there is no Bunnicula. This is about the cat.His name is Chester. He has schemes and a vivid imagination, as cats do. He's steeped in Gothic literature. Here's my Gothic Drinking Game if you need a refresher, and notice how Bunnicula will get you drunk: - Nasty weather- Fainting (in our first hint that Bunnicula may not be the villain, he is usually the fainter)- Creepy noises- Scary eyes- And the most important thing: a relative turns out to be the surprise villain. Here's what we ...
