The Celery Stalks at Midnight (Bunnicula and Friends)

I read this when I was in elementary school, and my little ones still love it! This is a great series that is perfect for young readers. My little ones are around 6-8 years old and enjoy these books.

Part of my childhood passed onto the next generation :)
This series was one of my favorites, funny, cute, and perfect for "big kids" who have outgrown the young kid books but aren't quite ready for the teen fiction section at the library.

The fun never stops with Harold and Chester. I collect rabbit themed items and was buying a book for my friend's child when I caught sight of Bunnicula, the first book in the series. Naturally I bought it, who can resist a vampire bunny? Hilarious, so I've kept collecting. Just finished this book and looking forward to starting the next.

To avoid sibling fights at the dinner table when they were younger, my husband and I started to read to our children during meals (we each chose a book, in turn, as the last was finished). This was one they had bought at a school Book Fair and we all had a jolly time reading it. The animal characters are adorable and the situations funny and just-enough-scary for kids. In fact, they liked it so much that my daughter recently had me buy the set for her own sons as a gift and they have loved them, as well.

The familiar characters from the authors' previous story, Bunnicula, are back. Harold the dog, Howie the puppy, and Chester the cat return in this sequel. The three are in wonder of where Bunnicula has got off to. Chester is firmly convinced this time Bunnicula is indeed a vampire. The story is a sequence of events to find and bring Bunnicula's secret forth and hopefully save the neighborhood.
A could be vampire is always a science fiction fantasy favorite. The author indeed satisfies the appetite of the science fiction fans. It has a modern flair and realistic setting. The author uses the animals to reveal the story. While readers know animals are incapable of speaking, the realism of their voice is believable. The author keeps this pace of believable form throughout the book's beginning, middle, and end. While the illustrations are few, the illustrator gives action to the scenes that parallel the written words. The illustrations utilized have great form and detail. In their black and white pencil sketching the drawings only add to the story.

Great

My son loves these books.

This one didn’t age as well for me as Bunnicula did, but it was still better than the second book. The only character that was brought in for a cameo from Howliday Inn was the least interesting one, and the new character (Howie) was “needed” to deliver puns throughout but served no narrative purpose. The puns were made all the more painful by Howie’s need to point out every single one. My recommendation would be to stop with the first book.

not as good as first

My family loves all of the Bunnicula books. We think everyone should experience the Bunnicula series. The binding is secure, the cover art is lovely and the story is unforgettable. The weight of the paper used for the cover is a little thin but for the price we aren't complaining too much. A great buy!
