The second in the "Bunnicula" series for children. This time, Harold and Chester (the Monroe family's loyal dog and cat) are boarded at Chateau Bow-Wow while the family takes a week's vacation. After their first night at the Chateau, Chester is convinced that there are strange things afoot - including a pair of werewolves in residence! When other inmates guests of the Chateau begin disappearing, Chester and Harold begin investigating what they're sure is some sort of dastardly crime until the unthinkable happens, and Harold finds himself alone on the case! C and I read this book aloud at bedtime over the past few weeks, although we'd already heard most of it as an audiobook on some car trip or another last year. I really like these books - the characters are fun, and they're humorous for both children and adults. Also, I particularly enjoyed reading this one aloud, and getting to do voices for all the characters. I'm looking forward to reading more in the series - we'll be starting "The Celery Stalks at Midnight" as soon as we finish the Goosebumps book we started a few days ago. Part of C's personal collection - I'm sure he'll want to read this one again.
