The age of this book quickly makes itself known by the language it uses, particularly the page where Chester the cat casually lets rip the g-slur in rapid succession. I was already struggling pretty hard to feel engaged with the text due to the children who talk like adults trying to imitate children - sometimes I don't mind it, but it was particularly hard to read here because there is so little variation between how each character is written that they don't really have distinct voices of their own - so that page felt like a slap to the face when I got there.

Otherwise, the story is cute and I love the message of tolerance and acceptance that Harold teaches the readers through his journey with Bunnicula. Besides, the concept of a vampire bunny who drinks vegetable juice instead of blood is too adorable to find much fault in.
