This is a sequel to the children's classic, Bunnicula, the story of the vampire bunny who drains vegetables of their juice, which I somehow only read very, very late in life. Actually, it's the third book in the series, something I didn't realize until I was about to start it. Apparently by not reading the second one, I missed the introduction of a new puppy to the cast of household pets. But never mind! I still enjoyed this. It's cute and amusing, full of silly animal hijinks and puns about vegetables, one of those kids' books, like the original Bunnicula, that I'm sure I would have enjoyed as a kid and which still manages to bring a smile to my face now.

I will, however, repeat the PSA I felt compelled to offer when reviewing the first book: No matter what the canine narrator of this story might think, PLEASE DO NOT FEED YOUR DOG CHOCOLATE. Thank you. ( )

I read this book to my son. He got such a kick out of it. ( )

I find that reading these books makes me overly affectionate towards my cat ( )

Okay... This is different than what i usually post here. You might as well meet my friend Jessica. As long as there are books in this series, I have a feeling that she is going to be reading to me A LOT. I don't mind...I can think of so many less pleasing things a 9-year-old could do...and her grandmother has bought her all the rest of Bunnicula..sigh. These are funny and I love Bunnicula and his friends. My daughter brought home a French-Lop and it may have been at least part vampire...so I can relate. Anyway...we finished this one this morning and it was 144 pages of pure nonsense and delight. Absolutely wonderful characters and Jessica commented about halfway thought the book that none of Bunnicula's friends were mad at him, they were all worried about him, and they didn't call him names to make him feel bad. So maybe some of our people that are "in charge" should meet Bunnicula and his friends. The fun never stops with Harold and Chester and who can resist a vampire bunny? ( )

"But it was not long before I forgot everything save the harrowing story that unfolded in the pages therein. It is a story that dares to ask the question; When the moon is up and the night creatures begin to stir, who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of lettuce? For the answer, read on."
