Bunnicula
#
1

When the Monroe family brings home a mysterious rabbit they found at a movie theater showing Dracula, their dog Harold and cat Chester begin to suspect Bunnicula might be a vampire—especially when vegetables start turning white and drained. A hilarious, classic middle-grade mystery told from Harold the dog's perspective. First in a beloved series.

Content Ratings

No Romance
There is no romantic content; relationships are based on pet friendship and the bond between animals and their family.
Light Themes
Chester's paranoia drives the plot but Harold is levelheaded and kind; themes of friendship, acceptance, and not jumping to conclusions are handled with humor; the tone is consistently funny and warm.
Mild Violence
Chester suspects Bunnicula of being a vampire and vegetables are mysteriously drained; Chester attempts to stake Bunnicula with a toothpick; violence is entirely comic and harmless; the tone is humorous throughout.
