This book continues with the Editor’s Note at the beginning, something I look forward to in each and every book. Harold is your usual laid back Harold, functioning as narrator and level headed team member. Chester, as always, is my favorite character whose sarcastic nature and obsessive reading has given him an overactive imagination paired with a sharp tongue. The best part of this book is the new addition of Howie who is mostly comic relief. I enjoy the jokes but the other books in the series are much stronger in terms of story and engagement. Between vegetable related humor and vampire jokes, CELERY STALKS is quite pun-y but lacks in a substantial plot. Most of the rest of the book is a giant wild goose chase around town, lead by Chester and his fanaticism. Still, he puts up with the energetic pup who insists on calling him “Pop” and Harold “Uncle Harold”. Chester believes that, like his parents, Howie is part werewolf due to his strangely bone chilling howl. This book introduces us to Howie, the hyper little wired haired dachshund puppy who was born at Chateau Bow-Wow in the previous book. It’s just not AS good as the rest of the series. My least favorite of the Bunnicula Series, THE CELERY STALKS AT MIDNIGHT is probably one of the cleverer titles in the set. Of course, Chester has been known to be wrong before.but you can never be too careful when there's a vampire bunny at large!
Soon he has Harold and Howie running around sticking toothpicks through hearts of lettuce and any other veggie in sight. Published by Atheneum Books for Young Readers on October 1st 2006īunnicula is missing! Chester is convinced all the world's vegetables are in danger of being drained of their life juices and turned into zombies. The Celery Stalks at Midnight (Bunnicula, #3) by James Howe, Leslie H.
