Rating: Summary: Bunnicula the vampire bunny is on the loose. Review: Bunnicula is a vampire bunny and he is on the loose. The Monroes, the family who owns Bunnicula, really don't have a clue about his escape. Bunnicula's pals Harold, Chester, and Howie are there to track him down in order to stop disaster. Chester has a theory that if Bunnicula bites the vegetables in everyone's garden they will turn into vampire vegetables and then attack the town. The message to the readers relays that ones mind can jump to many conclusions from the simple to the bazaar. Chester's idea of what may happen is defiantly leaning towards the bazaar. I like Celery Stalks at Midnight because the author told the story using animals which creates a hilarious picture in my mind.I recommend this book to all ages because of the animals and the mysterious happenings.
Rating: Summary: Buy it because of Bunnicula, keep it because of Garber Review: Bunnicula is one of those great series of books that treats kids intelligently and therefore is fun for kids-at-heart adults too.I love Victor Garber's interpretation of each character's voice. Quite versatile at changing up intonations and pitch, he seemlessly moves between teenage boys, goofy Howie and the more prim and proper Chester. I cracked up everytime Garber said 'Uncle HAHrold' in Howie's voice. VG also delivers the straight narrative parts in a nice rhythm that reflects the author's amusing sequences of puns with colorful imagery.
Rating: Summary: A not very good follow-up Review: I don't feel like this is a terrible book, but I can't give it a high rating because I just didn't feel that it was special in any way.
Howe struck entertainment gold when he wrote Bunnicula, the first book in the series. But the idea of a vampiric bunny that freaks out the established household pets (Chester the cat, Harold the dog, and now Howie the dachshund puppy) can only be taken so far, especially if the mute bunny never actually seems to do any harm. I really enjoyed the first book, thought of the second book as a decent sequel, and found this book to just be more of the same.
The humor is very broad, mostly revolving around the silliness of the main characters, who misinterpret harmless situations to mean that Bunnicula is on a rampage. Their earnestness is sometimes appealing, but they are hard to find an emotional connection with.
I think that most readers will see the plot points coming from a mile away.
I recommend this book to Bunnicula fans, but there are too many terrific books out there for the casual reader to spend time on this one.

Rating: Summary: Chester,Howie and Harold are on the lookout. Review: This book is a must for every children's library. It is a wonderfully clever story told from the point of view of everyday house pets. Vampirish bunnnies, zombie-like vegetables, and toothpick trouble join together to make a fantastic, fun tale.
