Oh, how I loved Harold and Chester. And the Monroes. And everything else. This book is a warm blanket on a cold winter’s night. There was humor and intelligence for both you and a child. I appreciated some of the humor more than Gage did, but Chester’s antics had him laughing. A children’s book not to be missed.
Gage’ thoughts…
Bunnicula was a bunny found at the Dracula movie by the Monroes. Chester (the talking cat) thought he was a vampire because he was turning vegetables white, was out of his cage at night, and slept all day. Chester tried starving him, putting a steak (instead of a stake, lol) on his chest. and doused him with water. Chester was right, but not in the way you think. Harold (the talking dog) tells the story.
Bunnicula! I remember that one and my daughter loved it. I laughed at the cover you shared above. Much more austere than the one on our copy. Think we got it at a school book fair – probably a Scholastic book. LOL
I love this 40th anniversary cover. It’s even velvet!
Gabe also loved this one. He loved it so much he made me read it after and discuss! Then we kept going with the others in the series!
