We've really enjoyed all the books in the Bunnicula series, from the Ready-to-Read books in the Bunnicula and Friends series, to the original Bunnicula chapter books, to the Harold and Chester stories, which are at a reading level in between the two. We've read all of the books in this series now and we're slowly working our way through the other books and our girls have loved them all.

Ever since a friend of mine found some odd colorless vegetables in her garden, each with two little marks in it ("It couldn't have been birds," she kept saying in puzzlement), I've viewed the Bunnicula books somewhat differently. In any case, it's always good to see Harold and Chester boldly confronting the world's evils - this time ghosts on Christmas Eve and this time in a picture book to share the fun with younger readers.
This isn't bad. The pictures were cute, but it was Bunnicula characters watered down to an extent that made me frown. Bunnicula isn't that tough! However, it did get a little four year old asking me to read him the "real" Bunnicula books, and it gets the high position of Last Book I Read To A Preschooler As Said Preschooler Gave Me His Flu The Day Before Christmas Eve, so it will be forever etched in my memories.
Let's face it, after the original Bunnicula book, the bunny wasn't really part of the story, and even if he was, as a 6 year old, I was still not into vampires. I enjoyed the dogs and cats much more, so the fact that they have their own series excites me more now that I know there are other holiday books.
Bowie is afraid of the man in the red suit that comes down the chimney. "What does he want?" he asks nervously before running away. However, what are those noises in the middle of the night? Could it be the ghosts that also visit during Christmastime? Chester and Harold are set to find out!
My nephew Gavi loved it. I did all the voices!
