This book is about a rabbit but Is not a rabbit but a vampire. He is trying to see If the rabbit is a mean one or a nice one. So now Chester needs a vet to calm the vampire bunny. But now he is following the rabbit to prove that he is still a bed rabbit

Bunnicula is probably one of the most precious characters I've seen in children's book. He doesn't say or do anything, yet he's so well portrayed that I am hardcore in love with him I really hope Howe eventually does a book from Bunnicula's perspective.

Took a little effort to get into this one because Chester was being awful again and depriving Bunnicula of food for an extended period of time. However, once it got going I appreciated Harold putting his foot down and being an active force in this book. (Sometimes he's really just commenting on

what everyone else is doing). Also liked the book being about Bunnicula again. I realize it's hard to write a book about a bunny who doesn't do much and doesn't talk like the other animals, but I think coming up with creative ways to do that in each book might've enriched the series. Anyway, I liked the slightly more adult themes of the book (doing what's right in spite of a friendship) and thought the plot was solid. Show Less

Local notes
Chester the cat has persuaded Harold, the mutt narrator cum author, and Howie, the dachshund puppy, that the Monroe boys' pet rabbit is really a vampire-just look at the way he drains vegetables of their juices. As this installment begins, Harold believes the household safe, and so he is unnerved by Chester's cryptic comment, "Let's just say the matter is under control.... At last."
