Product Description

Bunnicula rules! Dav Pilkey, creator of the Captain Underpants series

Celebrate over forty years of the modern classic Bunnicula with this graphic novelization that will send a shiver down your spine and leave you howling with laughter!

Beware the hare!

Harold the dog and Chester the cat must find out the truth about the newest pet in the Monroe household—a suspicious-looking bunny with unusual habits...and fangs! Could this innocent-seeming rabbit actually be a vampire? Experience the chills and thrills of this classic tale in an all-new graphic novel format!

From School Library Journal

Gr 3–5—The graphic novel adaptation of Deborah and James Howe's 1979 classic has all the humor and charm of the original. Harold and Chester are a dog and cat living comfortably in a home whose dynamic is thrown off when their family returns one day with a rabbit they discovered while seeing Dracula at the movies. When the household's produce starts turning white, Chester immediately believes that the rabbit—Bunnicula—is a vampire who will ultimately destroy the family. Chester's repeated attempts to rid the family of Bunnicula, paired with Harold's common sense thinking, provide for laugh-out-loud moments. Donkin's adaptation of Howe's original story breaks the fourth wall between reader and characters through Harold's epistolary narration as well as communication with the reader via written signs that provide additional commentary. Chester's growing mania and conspiracy theories on Bunnicula, brought to life with Gilpin's colorful and expressive illustrations, will have readers giggling and waiting to see just what the cat will try next.

Review

"This pets-eye-view farce bares fangs but draws laughs instead of blood." -- -Kirkus Reviews
