Opinion 

I found this book quite interesting. I love that the author has the three Monroe pets return to Howliday Inn to solve another mystery. I was on the edge of my seat until the very end.

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.

The first night that they are there they hear a frightening howl. On the third morning they find that one of the dogs is missing. Chester thinks somebody murdered the dog.

Opinion 

At first I thought this book was a little confusing, but the more I read the more I understood it. I had a good laugh at some of the parts. The author really does have a great sense of humor. It took me awhile to figure out who the culprit was, but when I discovered who it was, I was definitely astonished. I hope you will give this amazing book a read.

Spring According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney (143 pages)

 Summary 

Winter is almost over and Spring is on it's way. Humphrey, the classroom hamster, and his exciting human classmates can't wait for Family Fun Night. Every weekend Humphrey helps a new student in his class and he often wonders if he has a family of his own. 

Opinion 

I am going to give this book 4 stars because I especially like the fact that Humphrey is actually telling the story. I also like that he has adventures outside of his cage thanks to his "lock-that-doesn't-lock." You might enjoy this this book, if you like animals.
