The Celery Stalks at Midnight by James Howe (111 pages)

Summary 

The saga continues with this third Bunnicula book. Late one night Harold, Chester and the dachshund, Howie, are sitting on the porch resting. When they go inside they discover that their friend, Bunnicula, is missing. The next day they decide to roam around town hoping to find their lost friend. While searching they find Toby and Pete, the Monroe's sons, on a friend's lawn biting kids' necks. Chester is convinced that Toby and Pete have fallen under Bunnicula's spell!!

Opinion 

I like this entire series. I especially like that each story centers on a different adventure. The author takes the characters to many interesting places, including into town as well as on a garbage truck. I laugh hysterically at most of Chester's humorous escapades and I love that the author added a new character, Howie. Actually, it turns out that he's my favorite character. I do hope you will give this fantastic book a try. I think you will really enjoy it.

I think this is a good book because there is lot of action and adventure within its pages. This story always kept me on the edge of my seat. I love that the author brought back Blizzard, the polar bear, and Little Big Horn, the rhino. They make a wonderful addition to the plot. The excitement within the pages of this very interesting story make it worth a read.

Bunnicula by Deborah & James Howe (98 pages)

Happy New Year!! Do hope your holidays were great. I am excited to be back and sharing my reads with you.

Summary 

The Monroe's went to the movies and came back dripping wet. Chester, the household cat, and Harold, the dog, noticed something in Mr. Monroe's arms. It was a cute, shivering bunny. A few days later Chester told Harold that he thinks Bunnicula, the new pet, is a vampire. Soon after, the Monroes find a white tomato on the dining room table. When you finish this book your hair will be standing on end. 

Opinion 

I think this book is a really good mystery. It kept me interested until the very end. I especially liked the part where, instead of getting a wooden stake, Chester got a piece of steak meat and started to pound it into Bunnicula's chest because he thought Bunnicula was a vampire. This book really made me laugh a lot. I do hope you will try this spooktasic story.
