When the Monroe family find a little bunny in the theatre while watching Drcula, they bring him home and call him Bunnicula. The two household pets soon discover Bunnicula drains the vegetables in the refridgerator dry, leaving them white. The story is very funny, one of the best parts in when Harold, and Chester grab the family dinner steak and attempt to stake the vampire bunny with it. This is a great story for children learning to read more serious vocabulary.
