Bunnicula: A Rabbit-tale of Mystery introduces readers to the Monroe family and their pets: Harold, a scruffy, good-natured dog, and Chester, a highly imaginative and literary cat. When the family brings home a small, black-and-white rabbit found at a Dracula movie screening, Chester immediately suspects the bunny, named Bunnicula, is a vampire, draining vegetables of their color. Told from Harold's charming perspective, this chapter book is a delightful blend of humor, mystery, and animal antics, perfect for early to late elementary readers. It explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and the dangers of jumping to conclusions, all wrapped in a cozy, whimsical package.
This reissue of the classic story featuring the vampire rabbit celebrates the book's 20th anniversary. Includes an essay by co-author James Howe on the origins of "Bunnicula." B&W illustrations throughout.
