207 books462 followersLibrarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name. See this thread for more information.
James Howe has written more than eighty books in the thirty-plus years he's been writing for young readers. It sometimes confuses people that the author of the humorous Bunnicula series also wrote the dark young adult novel, The Watcher, or such beginning reader series as Pinky and Rex and the E.B. White Read Aloud Award-winning Houndsley and Catina and its sequels. But from the beginning of his career (which came about somewhat by accident after asking himself what kind of vampire a rabbit might make), he has been most interested in letting his imagination take him in whatever direction it cared to. So far, his imagination has led him to picture books, such as I Wish I Were a Butterfly and Brontorina (about a dinosaur who dreams of being a ballerina), mysteries, poetry (in the upcoming Addie on the Inside), and fiction that deals with issues that matter deeply to him. He is especially proud of The Misfits, which inspired national No Name-Calling Week (www.nonamecallingweek.org) and its sequel Totally Joe. He does not know where his imagination will take him in the next thirty-plus years, but he is looking forward to finding out.

After recently finishing Flowers in the Attic, I needed to scrub the ick away by turning to another ‘spooky' read from my youth. Enter Bunnicula (1979).
My memory of this children’s classic is that it’s about a vampire bunny with a really cool name. That it is, kinda. Bunnicula is really just a rabbit found in a movie theater during a showing of Dracula who happens to have long teeth that help him to drain the juice/color from vegetables.
But you know what’s weird? He’s a tertiary character. This particular collection features the first three books in the series, and the primary characters are Harold, the family dog and narrator, and Chester, the family cat and Bunnicula hater. In fact, Bunnicula is entirely absent in the second story.
Also absent is spookiness, even considering that this is written for children. The scariest thing in the entire series is that Harold the dog is continually fed chocolate cake. DO NOT DO THAT!
Sorry to say that my reunion with Bunnicula was just not funnicula. If you're 8 years old, you might like it more.

“He’s a vampire!” Chester snarled. “Today, vegetables. Tomorrow … the world!”
I loved this.
I loved Bunnicula, and I loved the relationship between Harold, the dog, and Chester, the cat, which is obviously based on Watson and Holmes.
Chester is such a cat ... and a bit of an asshat.
This cracked me up just as much as made me worried for poor little Bunnicula:
“No dice,” Chester said. “Just read this to me so I’ll be sure I’m doing it right.” And he handed me a book.
That book, again.
“Start at the top of the page,” Chester said as he picked up the steak.
“Why don’t you read, and I’ll hold the steak?”
“Mmphph,” Chester replied. I took it to mean that I was to start reading.
“‘To destroy the vampire and end his reign of terror, it is necessary to pound a sharp stake …’”
Chester interrupted. “A sharp steak?” he asked. “What does that mean?”
“I’ll taste it and tell you if it’s sharp,” I offered.
“Oh, never mind. This will do. It’s sirloin. Keep reading.”
“‘… to pound a sharp stake into the vampire’s heart. This must be done during the daylight hours, when the vampire has no powers.’”
“Okay,” he said, “this is it. I’m sorry I had to go this far, but if they’d listened, this wouldn’t have been necessary.” He dragged the steak across the floor and laid it across the inert bunny. Then with his paws, he began to hit the steak.
“Are you sure this is what they mean, Chester?”
“Am I anywhere near his heart?” he asked.
“It’s hard to tell,” I said. “All I can really see are his nose and his ears. You know, he’s really sort of cute.”
Chester was getting that glint in his eyes again. He was pounding away at the steak, harder and harder.
“Be careful,” I cried, “you’ll hurt him.”
Chester increased his attack.
So, yeah, I'll take in the vampire bunny any day, but that cat is a psycho ...

WARNING: THIS BOOK MAY BE FOR KIDS BUT THIS REVIEW IS NOT AS IT CONTAINS A LOT OF STRONG LANGUAGE (THOUGH I DO HIGHLY RECOMMEND PARENTS READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE GIVING THEIR KIDS THIS BOOK DUE TO A WARNING ABOUT SOME LITERALLY DANGEROUS MESSAGES IN THIS BOOK)
I really thought that I would like this one. I really did...
What’s it about?
This contains 3 stories in the Bunnicula series.
In the first one a family brings home a seemingly innocent little bunny but Harold (a dog) and Chester (a cat) are suspicious of it. In the second book some weird things are happening surrounding a pet hotel. The third book involves Chester gets suspicious of the rabbit again.
Pros:
This book is pretty darn cute for sure. There is a cute appeal to this that the animals give this book.
This book is often quite humorous.
The narrative is interesting. It’s told from the POV of a dog telling the story and it’s very enjoyable.
Cons:
2 out of the 3 stories are uninteresting. The first one works as a cute standalone that would be just fine by itself. Unfortunately the other 2 stories that feel like they were only made because money aren’t interesting at all.
This book is usually fairly boring. Nothing very intense happens aside from the brief kinda goofy shenanigans here and there.
The horror... (sigh). Look, I didn’t expect it to be scary or disturbing being a kid’s book and all but I expected it to involve some elements of it being at least somewhat unsettling or something but no. I don’t think this will even be enough horror for a kid-friendly level introduction to the genre really.
So with this being a children’s book I’m kinda confused by some things, mainly various references and the vampire theme. Kids probably won’t understand a lot of the references to various things such as the surprisingly common Edgar Allan Poe references. I also think vampires are a weird theme for kids, though maybe I just had a weird experience with them growing up. I specifically remember almost anything (though not quite everything) involving vampires wasn’t allowed until I was about 12 or so (which as an adult fan of horror makes sense to me as most vampire anything I’ve read or watched includes buckets of blood and frequent sexual themes) which of course meant when I was old enough for it I jumped right into the likes of Blade, 30 Days of Night, American Vampire and stuff like that so maybe that’s why but I dunno... vampires just seems like a theme that’s very adult in nature so I find it odd for a children’s book.
The thing that legitimately annoyed me the most in this book was the motherfuckers that kept feeding their dog chocolate cupcakes like it’s perfectly fine. I know the character’s a kid but I don’t care, he’s poisoning his dog and it’s depicted as cute. I seriously fucking hope no dogs died thanks to some kid reading this stupidity. I’m gonna stop because I’M SERIOUSLY FUCKING ANNOYED BY THIS! WHAT STUPID FUCK FEEDS THEIR DOG CHOCOLATE ON A BASIS THAT’S SO GODDAMN FREQUENT THAT THE DOG MISSES IT DESPERATELY AFTER A FUCKING WEEK! FUCK I AM ACTUALLY ANNOYED NOW!
Mixed thoughts:
The characters. Some of them are cute (including Harold and Chester who are the 2 main characters) but some of the others range from completely forgettable to annoying (including the human characters).
The depiction of comic book fans is iffy at best. At first I fully hated it in Howliday Inn because it includes multiple scenes that depict comic book readers as basically being worthless, stupid assholes (yet the cunts that feed dogs insane amounts of chocolate aren’t... yes I’m still annoyed) but then it the third book it has a more subtle bit in one scene that implies otherwise so it’s very hard to tell...
Overall:
This book could have been cute but in the end doesn’t work and is dangerous due to the way that feeding chocolate to dogs is depicted. This book has some cuteness and humor but it doesn’t make up for the boring majority of a rather dull yet dangerous introduction to the horror genre. I would not recommend this to anyone. It’s not good for kids under 12 as they may not fully understand the consequences of very easily copied dangerous actions but it’s all too safe and unexciting for most readers older than 12, especially if it’s someone into horror.
I suppose it makes sense I wouldn’t like this book. With a few exceptions (example: The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, figured I’d mention that show for parents looking for something a little more PG to introduce their kids to horror with, that one was a great show my dad got me into horror with when I was young) horror for kids usually doesn’t work. The genre by nature is meant to be dark, creepy, disturbing or a mix which aren’t things that work for a kid’s book. Bunnicula is not one of the few times it works as I doubt it would suit any audience in the end.
Not recommended.

My favorite book series as a child. I even had a bunny named Bunnicula. So happy I can read it now to my daughter.

Each story in the popular and critically acclaimed series has been read by the talented actor, Victor Garber. Now fans who can't get enough of the vampire bunny, Bunnicula, will have something new to add to their collection. -Andy

The audio collection I borrowed from the library to re-read these for this month.
It had been a long time, but they were still cute. Would probably be good for car trips with younger kids.

This is a collection of three Bunnicula stories. I definitely recall reading the first book as a child, though I am unsure if I read the others.
Bunnicula—I only remembered the barest bones of this one from my childhood but I enjoyed this so much as an adult.
Chester the cat persuades Harold the dog that something is wrong with the new bunny their family has brought home and the two get into several shenanigans trying to prove that Bunnicula is a bunny vampire. The animal humor is very spot on! I've always loved the idea of this and the white vegetables as well. This book also has a good bit of heart in it at the end. I loved it. 5 stars.
Howliday Inn—The second book in the series. Harold and Chester are boarded while their human family goes on vacation. Bunnicula isn’t in this one but the story is still fun.
New dogs and cats are introduced in the middle of a mystery that involves a missing dog and the possibility of werewolves.
The animal humor was similar to that of Bunnicula. The twist to the mystery was an interesting one that I didn’t see coming. 3.5 stars.
Bunnicula Strikes Again—The sixth book in the series. Chester begins to suspect Bunnicula of acting strangely again and will do whatever he must to stop his plans.
Harold isn’t so sure about these plans. Armed with a new buddy, Howie, Harold is determined to figure out what is going on. I loved the ending. 4.5 stars.
Overall, I would give the collection 4 stars. I am interested in reading the others now.

"Wonderfully imaginative and funny... "
These stories are, and will forever be, a favorite of my childhood. I read these books around the age of 9 or 10 with my parents. We laughed so hard and the memory of that is the last happy memory I have of that time in my life.
Bunnicula was, in fact, my introduction to audio books. I had it on cassette and listened to it every night when I was going to sleep as a teenager. Which, looking back, is a bit telling I think. The point is, associations aside, I enjoyed these books so much that I have continued to read them again and again well into my adulthood.
The humor and the imagination that surround the Monroes and their amazing pets is a great family story. The language lends itself particularly well to being read aloud, especially by an enthusiastic reader. If you want to introduce your child, not only to a fun spoof on the horror genre, but to a barrel of belly laughs... I suggest these books most highly. Let these furry friends and their antics be a happy part of your family memories.

This is a collection of 3 books, one being the original Bunnicula. While the original is still great, the 2nd and 3rd books show how the author begins to find his voice and characters and story lines deepen.
What I enjoyed most was the author's notes/commentary on the audible version - knowing the struggles that were endured while writing Bunnicula, and the author's memories from the late 1970s when pen came to paper...specifically the author's memories of all the laughter..highlight what life is all about. Unusual life lesson to come out of a bunny-dracula book, but one that leaves a lasting mark.

So I got this book in a book exchange between me and my friend when we were trying to show each other our favorite books from when we were kids. This was really cute. My only issue with it is that they never really go deeper into the “horror” theme like the book cover presents. The bunny barely has anything to do with the story half the time. Overall it’s a cute read. I’d definitely recommend it to a kid!
April 24, 2018
I didn't know what Bunnicula was when I was a kid and I have no children so no real excuse to read these books other than I love the idea and I'm jealous I didn't think of it! haha!
The humans are very annoying, however pretty real. I love the animals and the narrator is fantastic! Cute and silly, makes me want to have kids to read to them.

Oh.my.word - where have these books been all my life? I love, love, love sarcastic, talking pets and spooky things, so this is totally in my wheelhouse. Luckily I'm still a big kid deep down and have no issue whatsoever reading Bunnicula while approaching middle age. These books are clearly huge in the US, but relatively unknown here in Australia, which is a shame, because they are fantastic. I listened to this on audio and it was so good! So funny, and snarky and sweet.
I am so looking forward to tracking down the rest of the series and hopefully will convince my kids to pick these up along the way.

The Bunnicula Collection is a fun collection of three of these humorous and entertaining books that are sure to delight audiences of all ages.
The narrator is a talented actor (Alias, Legends of Tomorrow) whose voice translates well to audiobooks. He proves the perfect choice for the story.

Sweet, sweet nostalgia. This was such a joy to listen to. The first one was just as great as I remembered it being. I didn't love the second one but it was alright and the last one was super cute. I'm really happy I revisited this.

TW: G slur and racist stereotypes of Romani peoples, unsafe animal care in feeding a dog (looots) of chocolate
Great to revisit a childhood classic. Funny much more than scary, but especially good if you love animals getting into accidental mischief and misunderstandings!

There’s something about the tone of this book that I just find so charming. The family is realistic, the characters funny, and storyline simple but engaging.

An enjoyable trip down memory lane! Our Daughters and grandchildren loved these stories--when I saw this set in audiobook, I had to grab it. Harold and Chester are such a hoot!
September 26, 2024
Very cute. A great read for second to fourth graders, but enjoyable for any age. Listened to this one on audiobook in the car. Would recommend.
July 29, 2025
These were really cute, I wish someone had read them to me when I was a kid I would have been obsessed!!
April 23, 2023
Okay, this collection is meant for children so as an adult in 2023, it's a cute read but not life-changing. Makes me think of all the fun books I read in elementary and middle school and is just a fun story, but nothing sets it apart as astounding. Fun challenge read that I wouldn't necessarily read again unless with a child.
I did like the tongue-in-cheek nod to the controversy with the narrating dog loving to eat chocolate - was horrified at first but as the third book in this series says, it is a work of fiction.
