Guest Review: Bunnicula by Deborah and James Howe
When you start out writing, I find it's hard to find places in order to be published and help build your portfolio, so that's why I like to offer The Phantom Paragrapher to those who are wanting to get their name out into the world of book blogging.
Guest Review written by Jack Myers :
When I was a little kid, there was
nothing I loved more than a book about animals: talking animals, funny animals,
animals on adventure. It did not matter to me what the story line was or where
they went. I just loved cats, dogs, horses, and everything in between. The only
thing that could make a story about animals better was if they talked. Talking
animals were the pinnacle of story perfection for me. To that end, I had a book
series that was my favorite for a long time. It was called Bunnicula by Deborah
and James Howe.
The overarching story is this: a rabbit
is found in a midnight showing of Dracula and brought home to a nice suburban
family. However, this rabbit has some odd points. Its coloring makes it look
like it is wearing a black cape, its teeth are sharp and pointy, it sleeps all
day, and it sucks the juice out of vegetables. With all these clues, the
resident supernatural expert, Chester the cat, deduces that the bunny is a
vampire and sets out to prove it. With the help of the narrator, Harold the
dog, and eventually their puppy cohort, Howie the dachshund, Chester sets out
to protect his family and prove once and for all that the bunny has sinister
intentions.
With much humor, a lot of suspense and
just enough creepiness to keep kids interested, the Bunnicula series is a great
children’s book recommendation and a great introduction for kids to chapter
books. A fun and entertaining read for all!
