More fun for Bunnicula fans -- chapter books by Howie, the Monroe Family's zany dachshund puppy This new collection of stories features Howie -- the clever, brave, sensitive, and perhaps a tad hyperbolic dachshund who, determined to be a famous writer like his Uncle Harold, tries his hand at tales of terror and triumph. We begin with It Came From Beneath The Bed, where Howie the author decides to create a bestseller starring, well, Howie himself as the wise, courageous, intelligent (and modest) wirehaired dachshund that saves the world from the clutter beneath the bed -- all the while sharing his own writer's journal entries and many writing do's and don'ts. See what happens as Howie battles writer's block, an excessive use of adjectives and, finally, attempts to win the coveted Newbony award in Invasion of the Mind Swappers From Asteroid 6, Howie Monroe and the Doghouse of Doom, and Howie Monroe and the Screaming Mummies of the Pharoah's Tomb II. All of the stories are chock full of the trademark humor and mayhem that has made James Howe's Bunnicula series beloved by children everywhere.
