Nighty-Nightmare
Nighty-Nightmare | James Howe
11 posts | 17 read | 1 to read
An overnight camping trip! Not Harold's idea of fun. Too many mosquitoes, ticks and cockleburs. But when the Monroe family set out, their faithful dog Harold was with them, mostly because he remembered that camping could also bring s'mores and toasted marshmallows. Howie, the other family dog, and Chester the cat were also included in the trip. Only Chester thought the idea was completely insane. The woods, he informed Harold, were not only full of cockleburs and ticks, but of spirits, evil spirits who prey on the innocent. And on this, the worst night of the year -- St. George's Eve, when all spirits are set loose -- who knew what could happen. What Harold knew was that Chester was a well read, over-stimulated cat, full of weird ideas. He did not take Chester's worries too seriously. He had s'more to think about. But then, the Monroes set up camp near two strange men and their even stranger dog, and things began to happen that made even Harold wonder. Could Chester be right? This begins a long night, full of terrors and alarms, full of Chester's horrifying tale of how Bunnicula, the vampire bunny, was born and came to America, full of storms and a total sense of danger; and at the end came surprises that even Chester could not have predicted. Once again, the Monroe family may be the victims of evil forces or only of Chester's strange imagination. But whichever, the result is suspenseful and very, very funny.

Mehso-so

This nice little story about the Monrose family - their portable pets included - having a nightly canping trip that becomes scary. Again, the stories are nice, but the ones with Bunnicula in it are somehow better. Maybe because they are weirder? 🤔🤔🤔

In this book the Monroes go on an overnight camping trip on St George's Eve, when spirits are set loose. The Monroes set up camp near two strange men and their even stranger dog. This begins a long terror-filled night full of storms, and a tale of Bunnicula's origins. I love the nods to classic literature in these books and the puns are fantastic.

Harold, Chester and Howie are back in this new adventure. The Monroe's go camping but when the three animals get lost with their new acquaintance, Dawg, things really take a walk on the wild side.
This one is a bit outlandish but hey aren't they all? And it is still cute as hell. It kind of reminds me of Homeward Bound with a sinister twist but still perfect for the little ones to read. I definitely recommend this as a part of the series.
