The Monroes come home from a Dracula movie one night with a new addition to the household. They have found a baby bunny in a box of dirt in the back row of the theater. Chester, the cat, is convinced that this is a vampire rabbit and takes it upon himself to warn the Monroes of their impending doom. Harold, the dog and narrator, thinks Chester is nuts, but then how can he explain Bunnicula's sharp teeth or the way he seems to walk through the wire of his cage or the juiceless vegetables in the refrigerator. This is a laugh-out-loud read. If you like this one, look for other books in the Bunnicula series.
