"Aside from having the greatest title ever, this book continues the fun of the series. My boys loved that addition of Howie to the main cast and a good time was had by all. When this series is over, I'll miss reading Chester and Harold. They've been fun."

    " Not really sure why these are on the New Release list, since I read these when I was in fourth or fifth grade (I'm 31 now). These are great books, though, for a kid who loves animals and spooky stories! "

    " I loved the Bunnicula books, I read them with my son when he was little. Very funny, we laughed a lot. Suspense geared toward children. It was great! Good memories. "

    " I loved this book. If you like the movie Milo and Otis, you will like this book. There are some plays on words. A good read for any 1st - 3rd grade. "

    " I vaguely recall reading the first book in the bunnicula series. I remember enjoying it, and I read this one years later and it didn't feel like much of a story- not enough mystery and not dark enough, even if it is a kid's book. "

    " I owned this one as a kid, so I remember reading this one more often than the others. However, it's clear why Howliday Inn was my favorite. This one was kind of all over the place, and really just focused on slapstick and puns. Howie was as unnecessary to the series as Scrappy Doo was to Scooby-Doo, but I was glad Chester expanded on something that had been bothering me since the first book: Who cares if Bunnicula sucks the juices out of vegetables? Where's the harm in that? So I'm glad Chester came up with something to do with that. "

    " Bunnicula's gone from his cage and only Chester knows what really is going on. Another one of the funny stories about Chester (the cat), Harold (the dog), Bunnicula (the rabbit) and Howie (the dachshund puppy). Love the ideas that come to Chester's mind. He's never boring to be around. "

    " Bunnicula is back! Finally he escapes his cage and quits drinking vegetable smoothies at the Monroes'. Now he's out sinking his fangs into the neighborhood's vegetable gardens. My kids can't get enough of Bunnicula. "

    " Maybe it is the glorified perception of the books from my childhood, but I remember the Bunnicula books being more interesting than they are now. CS at M is better than Howliday Inn, but is not as good as I'd have wished after reading Bunnicula. My little girls enjoyed it, and that is what matters. "
