This is a collection of three Bunnicula stories. I definitely recall reading the first book as a child, though I am unsure if I read the others.

Bunnicula—I only remembered the barest bones of this one from my childhood but I enjoyed this so much as an adult.

Chester the cat persuades Harold the dog that something is wrong with the new bunny their family has brought home and the two get into several shenanigans trying to prove that Bunnicula is a bunny vampire. The animal humor is very spot on! I've always loved the idea of this and the white vegetables as well. This book also has a good bit of heart in it at the end. I loved it. 5 stars.

Howliday Inn—The second book in the series. Harold and Chester are boarded while their human family goes on vacation. Bunnicula isn’t in this one but the story is still fun.

New dogs and cats are introduced in the middle of a mystery that involves a missing dog and the possibility of werewolves.

The animal humor was similar to that of Bunnicula. The twist to the mystery was an interesting one that I didn’t see coming. 3.5 stars.

Bunnicula Strikes Again—The sixth book in the series. Chester begins to suspect Bunnicula of acting strangely again and will do whatever he must to stop his plans.

Harold isn’t so sure about these plans. Armed with a new buddy, Howie, Harold is determined to figure out what is going on. I loved the ending. 4.5 stars.

Overall, I would give the collection 4 stars. I am interested in reading the others now.
