Bunnicula: A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery

Harold begins his night by eating Toby’s leftovers in his room. He suddenly realizes he’s late for the meeting with Chester and heads downstairs. Chester invites him onto a small chair to look at a book, and they struggle to get comfortable because Harold is a large dog. Once they’re settled, Chester uses facts from his vampire book to make the case that Bunnicula is a vampire. He claims that the bunny sleeps through the day and has “funny little sharp teeth” like a vampire (43). Harold isn’t sure what he thinks about these claims until Chester pulls out the white vegetables, which he found behind Bunnicula’s cage.

They suddenly hear a noise coming from the dark kitchen. They sneak toward the unlit room to see Bunnicula hopping away. Chester stumbles his way through the dark and finds a white zucchini. This evidence convinces Harold that maybe Chester is right about Bunnicula being a vampire.

The Monroes wake up to find that all the vegetables in the kitchen have turned white. They decide that maybe there’s some strange vegetable blight going around, and Chester decides that “human beings can be so slow” (52).
