Having come of age in the 60s, I
didn’t get to grow up with Bunnicula. Which is a shame, because I would have
loved it as a youngster. The story is told via a manuscript written by a dog,
Harold. He and feline Chester live in the Monroe household peacefully, spending
their time reading, eating, and napping. Then one night the family comes back
from the movies having found a small rabbit abandoned in a seat. The odd
creature sleeps all day and has markings on his back suggestive of a black
cape. Then Chester-whose favorite reading material is horror stories- develops
a creepy theory about Bunnicula…
The book says the story is for
those 8 to 12 years old; I think it would appeal to even the very young, while
the writing is sophisticated enough for those older.

This in no way influenced my review.
