Description/Notes
Barbara ParkAs a kid, I saw the classic movie Dracula and became instantly afraid of vampires. Many years later, I read the classic children's book Bunnicula. Now -- in addition to vampires -- I am also afraid of bunnies. I hope you're happy, Jim. Neil GaimanTwenty-five years is a long time for a worried cat, a bemused dog, a vampire bunny, and a fridge full of terrified vegetables. Luckily Bunnicula is the kind of story that does not age, and in all probability, will never die. Or stay dead, anyway... Jon ScieszkaBunnicula was one funny, scary, must-read vampire bunny when he first showed up. Now it's twenty-five years later, and he hasn't changed a bit. Very scary. Very funny.

It proves to be an apt name, at least as far as Chester the cat is concerned. Well-read and observant, Chester soon decides that there is something odd about the newcomer. For one thing, he seems to have fangs. And the odd markings on his back look a bit like a cape. Furthermore, Bunnicula sleeps from sunup to sundown and is only awake at night. And then there are the vegetables...thewhitevegetables.Is Bunnicula really a vampire? Only Bunnicula knows for sure. But the story of Chester's suspicions and their consequences -- as told by his canine pal, Harold -- makes uproarious reading.
