Customer Review: A one-of-a-kind vampire tale that will give you goosebumps - accompanied by giggles!
Harold the dog and Chester the cat think that they're in for a relaxing night by the fireplace, sheltered from the rain pelting the windows outside, when they are most rudely interrupted by the beloved Monroe family (Mom and Dad Monroe, and their two sons, Toby and Pete). Sure, the Monroe's are wonderful people, but everyone knows that when a dog and a cat have finally settled down and gotten comfortable for the night, it is extremely rude to disturb them. Especially when what you're disturbing them with is an unexpected addition to the family in the form of a rabbit with fangs. Who just so happens to have black and white markings that resemble a cape, and who, oddly enough, was found at a Dracula movie. The family soon names the little bunny Bunnicula - combing the words Dracula and bunny to come up with something extremely ridiculous - and give him a home in a cozy cage, where he receives crispy vegetables everyday. However, Chester knows that there is something very peculiar about this particular rabbit. Not only is he nocturnal, spending each and every daylight hour fast asleep, and waking only once the moon is in the sky; but ever since Bunnicula arrived, all of the vegetables in the house - even the ones in the refrigerator - have begun turning white, the victim of having had their juices sucked out of them, much like the way Dracula sucks the blood out of his victims. Of course, Chester is the only one who seems to notice these occurrences, for not only is he well-read, he's taken on the personality of Sherlock Holmes, and is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, even if it kills him, or lands him in the doghouse. When I was in grade school, my classmates went absolutely wild for James Howe's BUNNICULA books, yet I never even picked one up, opting to read R.L. Stine's FEAR STREET series, or various fairytale's. However, after reading HOWLIDAY INN about a year ago, I instantly fell in love with the characters of Harold and Chester, and wanted to read more about them - I am certainly glad that I did. Unlike Harold and Chester, Bunnicula does not speak throughout this gory tale, but it is quite evident that he understands everything going on around him, based solely on the fact that his facial expressions reveal just that, and illustrate how he expresses his emotions. Harold is a lovable, shaggy dog, whose determination to knock some sense into Chester, and save Bunnicula from his mad scientist ways are heroic; while Chester's bizarre antics, and well-read nature make him absolutely hilarious. Bunnicula, on the other hand, is a breed of vampire that will stick out in reader's minds forever, as he is unique, and extremely strange - in a lovable way. While we do not encounter the Monroe children very often, the few times they come into scenes, they are extremely compassionate, and will appeal to animal lover's; while their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Monroe's inclusion of Chester, Harold, and even Bunnicula as family members is extremely refreshing and enjoyable. A one-of-a-kind vampire tale that will give you goosebumps - accompanied by giggles! Erika Sorocco Freelance Reviewer
Customer Review: Bunnicula's story
The book Bunnicula is a good story and will pull you in . Bunnicula is an ok story... this story's characters aren't real but they make it seem real. One character is Herald. Herald is my favorite character because he is funny. One time he drooled on Toby's foot because he called them names. My favorite scene is when Toby called Harold and Chester names because it is hilarious. Bunnicula is a fun story. Bunnicula is a good novel. It taught me that your enemies can be your friends. I would recommend this book because it is funny, cool, and fun (and because Herald is in it).
