I ordered this for my grandsons because they LOVE Bunnicula! We have Bunnicula on CD & they've listened to the stories over & over & wanted the actual books so they could read them themselves. This is a great little set of books, all in a tidy box and all complete. For kids, but also enjoyable for adults, with lots of humor, a little mystery, & no gooey moral lessons included. The six-year-old wants it read over & over, & the 10-year-old has already started writing his OWN version of Bunnicula, told from HIS dog's point of view. This would be an excellent Christmas gift for a young reader!
I'll admit I had no idea there were any sequels to Bunnicula, the classic that was read by my 5 bro/sis & I when I was a kid & holds a lot of nostalgia for me. My daughter saw my childhood copy (which has unfortunately succumbed to mildew from being stored in a box in a shed - tragedy!) in a pile of my old books my mom brought over. She was intrigued & wanted to read it but, not wanting to subject her to mildew & wanting a replacement copy anyway, I went onto to order a copy. And I made a wonderful discovery - there were more! I ordered this set and surprised my daughter with it - I think I earned major mommy points. She was ecstatic and proceeded to read the whole set in the course of a week, breaking my heart in the process because we were supposed to read them together after she was tucked in bed (seriously, I think I was as excited as she was to read these). But, after we finished one series, she wanted me to start these even though she'd just read them. And, I must say, these are as fun as I remember Bunnicula being as a kid - probably more so because of the little quips that are throughout the books are probably more understood by someone a bit older. My daughter likes the bit of mystery & hijinks and I like the wit and sharing them with her. I highly recommend this set for anyone from 7 (my daughter) to 37 (me) (or beyond!). These books are awesome.
I bought this for my 4 year old son, so we could read a little each night. I read these books in grade school and LOVED them, so I wanted him to read these as well. I read them to him, since he is just learning how to read, and he adores these. They offer the right amount of mystery, creepiness, and humor. He is excited when I break these books out every night, and "Bunnicula" is becoming a common word in our house. These books are appropriate for any age, but do have some larger words so really young kids might have a hard time reading them. Overall the set is great, of good quality, and easy to love. Who couldn't love a vampire rabbit that drains vegetables??? :)
I was about 6 when I read Bunnicula. I'm 41 now and have several nieces, nephews and second cousins. I cannot wait to introduce them to these books! I am going to enjoy reading these again as well.. My first introduction to vampires, no wonder I find them cute and cuddly! LOL! I recommend these stories to all kids (young and old) not just for the cute bunny with fangs, but the antics of Chester alone are enough to keep you laughing and wanting to continue to the next story. (If you have a cat or cats... It's even funnier!) Howard's recollection of the events that take place can pull at your heart as well as your mind, proving that Dogs are Man & Rabbit's best friend. :)The writing style is smooth and yet complex enough to engage the imagination and creative thinking in kids. These mysteries really got me when I was 6, and are the perfect "Who Dun'it" for a young mind. The "Hardy Boys" have nothing on Chester and Howard.
I read these books, or most of them anyway, when I was a kid. I bought this set so that I could share the stories of Bunnicula, Chester, and Harold with my kids. They are enjoying them as much as I did and I get to enjoy them all over again.
My daughter had expressed how much she wanted to own Bunnicula, after having read it in class. So I decided to buy her every single one in a convenient little box. She loves them so much. It's a great series that also offers opportunities to have conversations about topics in science. As a science teacher, I love that!
This was a wonderful surprize from my wife on easter (vampire+ bunny) whats not to love? Haven't managed to read through all of them yet- am only on second of seven books, but look forwards to finishing
Bought this set as a gift for my four year old niece. Love these books. My sister would read them to me as a child. They are the best. Funny. Good for kids that love animals and have big imaginations.
